July 26, 2002, Newsletter Issue #60: Player piano
Tip of the Week
Fingers cramped from too much tickling of the ivories? Well, buy yourself a newfangled player piano. The player pianos of yesteryear are making a comeback in a very digital way, and the new technology can be added to your old acoustic piano. (The one covered in dust in the corner). These devices use electronic solenoids to control the hammers of your acoustic piano and employ disk drives and onboard computers that take the place of the old-time paper rolls. The device costs between $5000-$10,000, and for a fully outfitted new piano, you can expect to pay $7,000-$52,000.
