William, All the info you've been given thus far has been excellent. If you are interested in being able to do even more work on player systems, Art Reblitz's book *is* the best. If you're just looking for help with this particular piano *do* get in touch with Ferd Pointer. He absolutely has the info you need easily retrievable from his amazingly detailed memory. You can email me privately, if you wish, and I can get the info you need...the information storage capability of my brain is not as vast as Ferd's! Also, check out John Tuttle's website www.player-care.com Yes, there are two basic styles of D/A systems and each may have a few variations. The 'tubing around the keyframe' is far easier to deal with than the 'through the keyframe' version. And, thank you Terry for the compliments (I'm sure that I speak for Ferd on this, as well).
