PowerRoll vs. Solenoid Piano
By Michael Waters

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I am having all sorts of fun playing my PianoDisc system (that
I purchased from Peter Phillips, Sydney) while I await the rebuild
of my Knabe Ampico.  Being an owner of both a solenoid piano and the
PowerRoll (installed on my upright Marshall & Wendell Ampico A), it is
very interesting to compare the same file on two different operating
systems.

Comparing the playing of note-for-note differences is something to be
beheld.  Some are the same on the two instruments and others are quite
different.  I am still tweaking the PianoDisc to get it to play some
of the files better than they currently do (with WindPlay).

Anybody got any other thoughts along these lines?
