Mechanical Music in Stores
By Bill Finch

Fry's, the giant electronics superstore, opened a new store in Austin,
Texas.  The entry is through a 50-foot high piano, a facade on the front
of the building.  Inside the store is a Steinway model D (or possibly C)
with a MIDI player system.

What's the background on this "decor"?  They don't seem to sell anything
related to this theme.  Any ideas ... ?
