Thanks for the replies I received regarding the Roemhildt Virtuola.
So it seems the "Virtuola" I saw in Brussels is some kind of
reproducer.  Is it a true reproducing piano or more of a kind of
expression piano similar to the "Recordo" ?

What strikes me is to find a reproducer on a 65-note player system.
I thought all true reproducing systems dated from past the Buffalo
convention and the introduction of the 88-note standard.  Any comments
anyone ?

Best regards,
