Installing the Hunt VirtualRoll System
By boxermark@

I am considering installing the VirtualRoll system onto my reproducing
piano, a Marshall & Wendell 5'4" rebuilt approximately 25 to 30 years
ago.  The cloth, hoses, and pneumatics are in good shape.  I had a
technician familiar with player pianos look at it recently.  It needs
a little maintenance but nothing major.  The piano itself plays well
and I like the sound.  It holds its tuning.

Has anyone installed VirtualRoll in their piano?  What am I getting
into?  I will have to work from underneath since I can't put the piano
on its side.  About how long will it take?  I will be working on it in
my spare time in the evenings and weekends.  I'm mechanically inclined
and comfortable with tools.

I've read about a couple other systems but they are no longer available.
If there is another system worth investigating, please let me know.
Any words of wisdom are appreciated.
