•I went to the first Pianocorder installation class they had in the San Fernando Valley in 1977 or '78. I and my piano dealer friend/employer went and we decided to go out to eat in Beverly Hills. We found a nice restaurant called "The Ginger Man." We ate a nice dinner and while eating we enjoyed a ...

I've appended some pictures of my optical roll scanner to the end of my Pianocorder-to-MIDI project web page. I haven't had time to HTML-ize the text of the project report yet, but the pictures are there in case anyone's interested in what the system looks like. The URL (again) is     http://www.cis...

•Sometime in the early 1980s I attended the Australian launch of the Pianocorder at the Sydney Opera House. While impressive to an electronics engineer such as myself, it did not move me enough to want one, as my Ampico seemed so much more sensitive and expressive. In 1988, as a technical journalist...

•Hi All, Other than Marantz Pianocorder, the only company that used solenoids was Wurlitzer in their 1402, 1202 and 1203 model players. Musically, John A Tuttle Player-Care.com Brick, New Jersey, USA

•[ Ref. John Bartlett in 240420 MMDigest ] Regarding Marantz Pianocorder mounting rails, I had my Marantz Pianocorder removed and had an LX player system installed.

•Hi MMDers, I completed my Dynavoice rebuild some months ago and have since purchased a used Pianocorder system from Dick Leonard. I have modified a Pianocorder built-in type system to fit into an empty Dynavoice shell, and now have a Pianocorder "Obensetzer" keytop player. This unit has it all over...

•For starters, it means I have a working Dynavoice keytop pneumatic roll-player and a Pianocorder "Obensetzer", and many MIDI files. Probably none of this would have been possible without the reference material I found in MMD to steer me in the right direction, e.g., John Tuttle, "The Valve", and Ma...

•I was wondering if this "robot" or Duo-Art "Vorsetzer" is the one that was owned by Joseph Tushinski of Superscope/Marantz Pianocorder fame. That unit was sold to Yamaha with the Pianocorder business. They later sold it to someone here at MMD, I believe. Who has this now? If this is not the Pianoco...

•Hi MMD, In two to three weeks I will need to have three Marantz Ragtime Pianocorders hauled from Cleveland, Ohio, to Sturgeon, Missouri. If anyone knows of a professional piano mover in that area that would be interested in this job I would be interested in hearing from them. Thanks, Tom Hutchinson...

Have two rails (with about 80 solenoids each) that came with the old Teledyne player kit. Their voltage drive requirements (165VDC - basically rectified 120 VAC) are similiar to Pianocorder but physically mount differently on their rails. If anyone wants them I will ship UPS for cost - probably $15 ...

Wayne, I'm interested in using the midi versions of the Ampico rolls to play on my Disklavier. Is there any problem in distributing the Ampico rolls? I have beentrying to do some followup on the Pianocorder conversions that Mark Fontana has done and so far the response from Yamaha is that they have ...

•We spend a lot of time discussing older mechanized instruments, but the occasional reference to the MIDI acoustic pianos has me wondering how many collectors on the MMD have one of the newer Disklavier/PianoDisc/ Pianomation systems, or the older [non-MIDI] Pianocorder units. More importantly, how ...
