Hi Gang,  I'd like to open up a discussion about paper roll playing
pianos vs. disc playing pianos.  I would really like people's view on
this.  What makes the disc player appealing?  Is it that paper rolls
are getting harder to find?  I would be very interested in your views.
I myself think it's an expensive CD player.

I have two CDs, one of Rachmaninov and one of Gershwin rolls being
played on a new piano with a disc player, and I wasn't impressed at
all.  I'd much rather hear a Victor [US], Kreutzer, Strad [Canada], or
a larger Aeolian or Beale [Aust.] for sound.

Thanks,
