I really don't know a better category, Roger, so stay here.

The field seems to be limited on the net. I found an area for QRS
on America OnLine (AOL), but it didn't seem to be very popular,
judging by the lack of posted queries and opinions in that area.

I sometimes kibitz with my neighbor, Charles Jackson (Charlie the
Tuner), over rebuilds he performs. He's working on a Gulbransin
player at the moment (a large job given the glued stack), but
he has a lovely Mason & Hamlin "A" with an Ampico A in his living
room.  There are other projects in the future.

Of the various midi piano setups, the QRS Pianomation looked
interesting for a few reasons. Input format is a CD (CD-ROM),
but the midi in/out ports allowed other formats which compensates
for a (possibly) limited library.  One interesting feature were
CDROMs that had the Midi info on the left track with an orchestra
audio (mono) recording on the right track that you would send to
a stereo or speaker mounted in the cabinet. In other words, your
piano played along with the orchestra.

The other interesting option was a wireless (infrared) link to
the piano that worked up to 200 feet away.  I thought it neat
to hack on the Macintosh upstairs, telling it to play the piano
downstairs.
