•Hi MMD, I want to purchase an intact, functional, installed and playable Marantz Pianocorder. It can be in a grand, an upright or a console piano.

•I have a dozen or so volumes of Pianocorder tapes (over a hundred individual tapes and hundreds of songs) that I am offering _free_ to someone who owns a Pianocorder. I no longer own a Pianocorder but I am reluctant to simply discard the tapes. I would require that the recipient of the tapes pay fo...

•Hi All, I have been cleaning out our storage area to make room for a National selector coin piano due to arrive this weekend. Many years ago I converted our piano containing a Pianocorder to Mark Fontana's wireless MIDI-to-Pianocorder conversion system, which by the way is still playing flawlessly ...

•There have been some recent inquiries about Pianocorder Vorsetzers. Does anyone know if any have changed hands and at what price? I also see many albums of original Pianocorder cassette tapes offered for sale on eBay in the $50-$60 range but very few realized sales. Is the demand for these that low...

•For Sale: Pianocorder player piano mechanism sold by Superscope in the 1980s and '90s. We installed this unit in one of our pianos. The piano recently came back to us with unit still installed.

•If anyone has any interest in a functioning Superscope/Marantz Pianocorder please contact me for more information. The Pianocorder is currently installed in a mediocre quality baby grand. If you want it, there are 'strings' attached: you must take the crummy piano too! Bradley Matson Portland, Oreg...

•Greetings all. I have recently purchased a Marantz Pianocorder and am working on getting it back into an operating condition. We've had some progress but there is a combination of issues. I was wondering if any readers in New Zealand are aware of any other Pianocorder unit owners, technicians or an...

•Hi all, In 2013 or thereabout, I offered my collection of PianoCorder cassette tapes to Mr. Tom Ahearn through MMD. I believe I had sent him a PianoCorder cassette tape deck and promised that when I found the tapes I would contact him. That was almost seven years ago. During a cleanup last week, I ...

•I am assisting in the sale of a Kawai grand piano with Pianocorder. The piano is a Kawai KG-2C, serial number 905788, in black, 5'10" with artist bench. The Pianocorder was expertly installed by Carl Meyer and features a remote cassette deck. Instead of mounting the cassette deck under the keys, it...

The digest of 95.06.06 has several references to CCD scanning of piano rolls. A few years ago I was doodling with this concept. There are single line diode arrays of the type used in hand scanners. Figuring our suitable optics stumped me on that one. Maybe you could run fiber optics from a tracker t...

•One correction to the comment that Yamaha bought Pianocorder to put them out of business. This is not true. I worked for Pianocorder at one time and have family that has been a Yamaha dealer since 1963. The Pianocorder division of Superscope had been sold to someone else. It was this someone else t...

•Re Matthew Caulfield's Request for Info on the Dynavoice Piano Player Having owned two Dynavoice Players more than a few years ago, I can provide some technical information on this self-contained keytop player unit. These units were, as Robbie indicated, manufactured in Plymouth, Michigan and retai...

•Maybe someone has heard of this instrument, which was reported as stolen in California awhile back. Maybe one of you knows the rebuilder who installed a Pianocorder system into the instrument back in the 1980's. Based on what I've been told about the instrument, you wouldn't soon forget it because ...

•I installed Pianocorder, PianoDisc and Pianomation players for many years. The problem was also sometimes when they were new. Occasionally this ultrasonic pitch was being generated and few people could hear it. I could. I found it is a vibration with some component that was loose and vibrating. Mak...

•When I cobbled together my home-made Pianocorder key-top player, I just happened to luck out that 1" piano jack springs worked quite well, for fit and application, as solenoid slug return springs for my unit. I now notice that some of the springs are not up to holding the slugs up completely, there...
