Electric Key Pounder?

[Meyer Carl]

Mike:  Just such a device has lingered in my kidneys for some time.  It
would be a simple device such as a pianocorder solenoid turned upside down
with a pushbutton activating it.  I wanted it not to tune but to hit the key
while looking for a buzz or other noise somewhere else in the piano.  When I
ever build it depends when the spirit moves me.
