Seek Modern Player for Hotel Bar
By Marty Roenigk

We are going to be looking for a small baby grand for one of our
hotels in Eureka Springs.  I want it to have one of the modern systems
(PianoDisc, etc.), but I don't know which would be the most trouble-free.

This is going into a bar, where it will be left to play for many hours at
a time, and there is no one around who is going to have any technical
skills at these things.  It needs to sound good, but I think I can spare
a little bit of playing quality (if necessary) in exchange for greater
reliability.

What is suggested?  The piano itself has to be pretty good because we
have live piano players in the evening.  And if anyone has one that is
cheap cheap, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

 [ The original market for coin-operated music boxes and pianos, etc.,
 [ was providing music in commercial establishments, where trouble-free
 [ service is a big requirement.  The electric mechanisms built by Mills
 [ Novelty Company and others, although more expensive, were said to
 [ require less maintenance than equivalent pneumatic machines.  I am
 [ interested in the suggestions from our readers.  -- Robbie
