  I have  to ask Paul, "Is this done using a Duo-art Vorstetzer or
other means?

  Because I have a CD of Gershhwin's here in front of me from the
Condon collection and I know that it was recorded by Dennis's Duo-art
Vorsetzer  on a 7'4" Yamaha.  (I have seen  and heard them myself)  The
recordings are brilliant  in my opinion, I'm sure George would have
approved!!!

   My other question  is: "converting the Duo-art coding to suit the
Disklavier  would surely be no mean feat, in your opinion Paul what do
they sound like in comparison to the real thing (Duo-art)?"
