Steinway Concert Grand -- player piano

[Will Truitt]

Hi Benjamin:

 

I would not turn this piano into a player until after she purchased the
piano as an acoustic instrument.  What if she decided that she did not want
to buy it after you had gone ahead and installed the player system?  The
market for Steinway concert grands is a pricey and small one.  Just think
how small the market would be for a Steinway concert grand player.  Don't
paint yourself into a corner.

Does anyone have any feelings about turning a Steinway concert grand into an
electronic player piano?  I have a potential buyer of my piano who wants to
add the disc system, or something like that.  As a piano purist, I am
considering not selling her the piano if she is serious because I don't want
to affect the quality of the sound or action of the piano.  But, is it
possible to attach these devices without affecting anything?  The piano
would be in her home, but would be used for rather large (~100 people) home
performances.
