Does Installing Player
System hurt or harm
your existing piano?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Does Installing Player Systems harm or hurt your new or existing piano? Jim Steagall of Houston Texas Alcal, a Houston Piano Company shares his keyartistry. Does Installing A Player Piano Hurt or Harm Your Piano ? Converting a new piano or installing a self playing piano system into your existing piano can be harmful to your piano, if and only if, the technician installing the PianoDisc into your piano investment; if and only if he does not know what he is doing?

 

I am Jim Stegall with Alcal Piano's, lots people call me The Player Piano Guy I have been installing self player piano systems for over 35 years, Alcal is number one in Houston Texas installing self playing piano systems, in fact I am probably one of the best PianoDisc Installers in the world, and I have had many people fly me to their homes to install a self playing piano system, called a PianoDisc into their existing pianos.

 

With the right technician you will not be able to tell a difference in the action if a self player piano system is installed. After I install the system #PianoDisc you you will not be able to tell the difference, by the look or the feel of the piano, and you will finally get to enjoy your piano if no one in the home knows how to play it. Now, there is another side to player system installation that you should be aware of. If a technician is not skilled in installing player systems, there is some risk of damage to your piano.

 

Incidentally, a large piano moving company started training its truck drivers to install player systems in pianos in response to a decline in piano sales and deliveries after the crash of the housing market. Many dealers are taking advantage of the low labor costs. So, when you consider having a player system installed in your piano, be sure to inquire who is doing the work and if it's not #ThePlayerPianoGuy why don't you give me a call no matter where you are in the United States and we can have a chat if I am available.

Have a look around. http://www.ThePlayerPianoGuy.com and click on some of my YouTubes you will see numerous pianos I have installed a #PianoDisc self playing sytem. I just recently installed a Self Player Piano system known as a PianoDisc in a 9FT, 1940 Grand Piano, a Baldwin in fact. My customer loves it, and can't believe all the features his reborn 9ft Grand has.
