I have installed somewhere around 150+ PianoDisc units now.  Most are =
general home installations with everything self contained but we do =
occasionally get a request for external speakers.  Most of these are for =
really huge homes or in commercial locations.  I do not endorse the =
remote radio transmitter speaker set up.  We have had endless problems =
with humming, interference, popping, and other distortions that have =
been nothing but trouble.  I recommend hard-wiring the speakers whenever =
they are remotely located.

We have had a few requests to leave the control box free for locating on =
a nearby shelf, and also some requests to mount the box on the side =
rather than the front.  We did an installation a couple years ago for =
the Golden Nugget Hotel/Casino in Laughlin, NV.  It is sitting in the =
lobby and they wanted it so that it would play 24/7.  We installed a =
multi-CD changer under the piano so that it contains about 6-8 hours of =
continuous playing before repeating a song.  Funny thing is, about 20 =
feet away from the piano is a giant mechanical singing bird show. Every =
fifteen minutes while the piano continues playing a dozen mechanical =
birds start performing in Disney fashion!

  If I were to install a pianodisk on a piano in my home, I would be =
very tempted to explore connecting the unit output to my home stereo, =
rather than little speakers under the piano. Why have I never seen this =
done?

  And while I'm at it, I would install the unit on a shelf near the =
piano, rather than have it hang down from the keybed like my 8-track =
player used to hang from the dash of my '66 Dodge Dart. Why have I not =
seen a remote installation of the player unit?=20

  Hey, can you get any pianodisk music for...... the Monkeys?

  Not, of course that I have an opinion on any of this.....  ;-)
