Just wanted to share my good experience with visition QRS in Buffalo. Use it
if you want in the digest.

 We are in Buffalo on vacation and HAD to go to QRS. It doesn't take very
long but there are some very nice examples of  automatic music instruments
there. They even have a 1995 example of a new automatic music device that can
be added to any piano (except a player of course) that gets its programming
from compact disk. On the disk can be accompliment music so that you have the
live piano playing (reproducer quality) and the backup orchestra sounds
together on your nearby stereo. I like the old stuff but that was
interesting.

Anyway, they took us back and showed the works of the place and we got to
watch most of the piano roll production as they were doing it. They even have
an outlet shelf for factory reject rolls. Anything that is still playable but
not printed perfectly (words smeared, ID stamp weak,  in short not perfect
but playable) is available for $3.00 each (less box). The only way to get the
deal is to go to the factory. I liked sifting through the racks so don't ruin
a good deal by requesting them to send a reject roll by mail. Go see the
factory! Rolls that you would buy to have the words printed for your houshold
to read should be purchased out of the standard factory stock to assure
quality.

If you want more details, let me know and I will write more about it.
