Pianodisc vs QRS pianomation

[JIMRPT@AOL.COM]

Interesting bunch of posts and ancilliary threads from this PD vs QRS 
thingee.............

 In my opinion it all boils down to preference and familiarity.
The one overriding and 'very' salient factor in all of these systems, 
QRS/PD/Pmatn/Concert Mstr/Disclavier, is the absolutely outstanding 
reliability and function that each give the consumer.

Any of these systems will give excellent service... when... they 
.....have..... been.... installed.... 'and'.... adjusted.... correctly. There 
is no dispute here...is there??

 So if there is no dispute here then it comes down to 
preference/familiarity/preconceived notions...doesn't it?
Each of us is entitled to their own opinions of playing systems and I think 
that is what is being displayed...and that is as it should be.

 There is the fact that in my 'opinion' the "key hold" only "feature" sucks, 
musically, but there 'is' an avalable solenoid to allow full sustain...isn't 
there?  The prices of all the various units are comparable, not the same but 
comparable,..aren't they?

 Now that leaves "service".......although I do installs I will 'not' provide 
service on any units I have not installed. The reason here is that I have 
seen way too many botched installs that are 'mostly' workable but would be 
better off being torn out and re-installed correctly. I grew tired of taking 
the heat for these poor installs and being the object of anger for those 
customers....soooooo I just say NO! :-)  Does this attitude make me 
non-professional? I don't think so but................

Bottom line....my opinion.... each of the systems have their own strengths 
and weaknesses....make your choice, install correctly, adjust correctly and 
feel safe in thinking that your customer will receive long, reliable and very 
satisfactory service from any of these systems.
My view.
