Although I was there (with Bob Davis - Hi Bob!) it was roped off and we didn't get too close a look at it. However, the museum shop sells/sold a magazine which described it fairly well. Perhaps I'll scan part of it in and put the pictures on the "Pianotech IRC FTP server" for next Tuesday. The URL changes every night for the server so I can't give the location until it happens, unfortunately, but if anyone not on IRC is interested they could email me and I'll give them the URL once it's up that night.
