Introduction
By Tim Ward
My name is Tim Ward. As a hobby and side business I have rebuilt player pianos for the past 30 years. I am currently an installer for PianoDisc through a music store in Antioch CA called Geddis Music. In 1993 I built a Vorsetzer-type model of the Piano Disc system. I demonstrated it to their engineers and sales staff but there was no interest in pursuing production. I have now used this unit for over 1000 hours on more than 100 pianos with great success.
My current project is installing and converting to MIDI a Wicks pipe organ in my house. When it's complete I'll be able to play my grand piano, pipe organ, and sound modules, from the computer.
My interests include converting to MIDI additional acoustic instruments, particularly a drum set. I am also interested in obtaining and sharing MIDI files.

[ interest in something like this! Could you please tell us more about
[ it? Could it be built from standard PianoDisc components? -- Robbie
