•I noticed the the PowerRoll system being mentioned here and was curious if anyone has installed or seen one of these in use. I'm interested in both the quality of the device as well as its' "playability". Any response would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Moore

•I already have a couple of opinions, but thought I could get a few more from the MMD members. As everyone who owns a Duo-Art knows, the expression level holes on the tracker bar are located above the row of note holes. This was done to allow the piano to play either all 88 notes (on earlier 88-note...

•Unforeseen problems with PowerRoll Hi friends. The PowerRoll seems to be a great device, and it works wonderful, but here are a few cautions that should be observed with it. Turbine pumps. When subjected to long plays a turbine motor is prone to overheating. The PowerRoll has a "jukebox" mode (exte...

•Hi Gang -- a correction to last article, just to clear things up a bit: I wasn't inferring that there is something wrong with the PowerRoll unit. It is just the fact that some player pianos out there might not take the workout that such a machine is able to give them. These pianos all come in vario...

•With all the talk about the PowerRoll and WindPlay currently going on, I just had to add my two cents. I wrote a very supportive letter to Larry Broadmoore after I was able to get my PowerRoll working very well. I promised to write to the MMD of my experience, but have been very busy lately. I coul...
