Installations

 

Your piano does not have to sit dormant and unused! The feeling of hearing your own piano played cannot be replicated by a stereo system.

The PNOmation 4 system by QRS Music is their latest advancement in electronic player-piano systems. Based in Seneca, PA in the old Story & Clark piano factory, they are easily able to adapt to the latest technological advancements.

  • Control from any device or at the piano

  • Software and Library updates via the internet

  • Record you or your loved ones’ performances

  • The largest music library of any system by far: 16,000+ songs

  • Exceptional volume control with the latest technology

  • Experience live performances broadcast right to your piano’s keys

While suitable for a broad range of pianos, installation is an involved process. Contact me to start a conversation about your piano and what is possible.

Recording

 

Unlock the full potential of your acoustic piano with PNOscan by QRS Music, allowing you to connect to your favorite learning and recording apps and devices via WiFi, Bluetooth, and Midi. Optical sensors give your piano all of the recording benefits of a digital keyboard without the compromises.

Upgrades

Already have an older player system on your piano? Let’s modernize it. Many player systems of yester-year can be upgraded without the need to replace the entire system.

 

QRS Music - PNOmation 4

The PNO4 Upgrade Kit gives you all of the software features that a new system would. It’s compatible with any older system that supports MIDI, which includes the vast majority of Yamaha Disklavier, PianoDisc, and of course QRS systems.

Yamaha Disklavier - DKC900

Yamaha offers the DKC900 upgrade for your Mark IV or E3 systems. This upgrade brings you up to their newest ‘Enspire’ system features, such as full audio radio stations, improved smart-device integration and library features, and a smaller hidden control unit up front. Mark IV owners in particular will be happy to know that the old PDA device will be eliminated completely.

If your system is a Mark III or older, Yamaha no longer offers an upgrade solution. However, the QRS PNO4 Upgrade Kit works with nearly all Disklavier models, and provides an excellent alternative.

Repairs and Replacement

 

Like any technology, parts will fail with time. Different systems by different manufacturers over the last four decades have varying degrees of repairability and longevity. While many issues boil down to a lack of regular maintenance, some very old systems from the 90’s and 00’s may have failures in parts that are simply no longer available (but sometimes repairable). If your system doesn’t function correctly, it is always worth investigating the cause and the possible solutions.
