I have to ask Paul, "Is this done using a Duo-art Vorstetzer or other means?
Because I have a CD of Gershhwin's here in front of me from the Condon collection and I know that it was recorded by Dennis's Duo-art Vorsetzer on a 7'4" Yamaha. (I have seen and heard them myself) The recordings are brilliant in my opinion, I'm sure George would have approved!!!
My other question is: "converting the Duo-art coding to suit the Disklavier would surely be no mean feat, in your opinion Paul what do they sound like in comparison to the real thing (Duo-art)?"
