I was offered a very nice 1938 Mason and Hamlin Grand.  It never had a
player unit of any kind.  The piano seems to be in very good condition,
has been regularly tuned, cleaned, and well kept.

Since many of you have installed MIDI units, I was wondering how much
of a task it would be to install some sort of unit that would play
Ampico rolls from a disk?

I have seen several disk operated pianos, and have not been impressed
with the results compared with that of an actual Ampico pneumatic unit,
but I understand they are improving.

I would welcome any suggestions.
