Player Piano Installation

Live Performance, processor board. Made to the highest quality standards

Even a classic, turn of the century piano can be fitted with a player system that is state of the art today.  We are proud to offer the finest digital player piano retrofit systems available. The three systems we represent all offer excellent performance, engineering, reliability and value.

We feature and install PianoForce, Live Performance LX and QRS PianoMation digital player systems in most all pianos.  While they are each superbly engineered and will provide years of dependable service, these systems offer different features for different tastes and applications. Please contact us to assist you in making the right choice for your home or commercial establishment.

We at Piano Artisans believe that every system has it’s highs and itss lows. For upright Player systems we feel that either the QRS PianoMation or the PianoForce is the best bet due the cost of the installation and the size of the solenoids. We are typically able to complete an upright player piano install in 4 days.

For a grand less than 6′ 5″ we would again recommend the QRS PianoMation or the PianoForce again because of the cost to value ratio and the fact that both systems sound so similar.  Especially when installing in a baby grand, it only makes sense to go with the more adaptable PianoForce or Piano Mation systems.

For a 6′ 5″ or larger piano, we usually recommend a much larger and more powerful system like the Live Performance LX. The Live Performance LX is meant to be installed in the larger grand pianos, as it has much larger solenoids, can be remote mounted and can play high definition piano music.  The Live Performance LX system is the best of the player systems available today.
