Hello Paul, I have installed dozens of these systems, and can honestly say they hold up very well. There is very little in the way of maintenance concerning any of the major pianomation brands, however, there is one thing which comes to mind. As the piano action falls out of regulation periodically, so can the adjustments and regulation steps in place for the pianomation system. For instance, maybe some of the solenoids are not playing when the volume is low, indicating that minimum adjustments need to be re-set. A QRS installer will have the tools to re-run these tests and make necessary adjustments. Often, I run across systems installed poorly or with haste, and I think they were probably never set up correctly to begin with. If she has no complaints, maybe this system was properly installed. maybe ask her how old her system is, and recommend a trustworthy friend who can help her out, or offer an upgrade to her system.

The piano has a Pianomation (QRS, right?) unit installed. The owner mentioned something about maintenance, but she did not know what that would entail, and neither do I. She does not have any complaints about the system. (Presumably she's interested in keeping it that way!) Obviously, I'm not Pianomation-trained. Is there any routine/preventive maintenance that I should do? Or should I find a local Pianomation-trained tech to do?
