Thanks alot Roy.

Is it tricky to install ? Do you have to modify the action frame ?  Do you have to alter the let off setting ?  Is the mute system really silent ?  Are the samples of good quality ?  Fluently playable ?

Thank you so much for your input.

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin.

Hi Stephane:
As far as I know, there are two systems commonly available.  One is the Pianodisc Quietime, and the other is the QRS PNOscan.  The Pianodisc system is a TFT film strip. It has little plastic fingers which touch the bottom of the key and flex. The PNOscan is an optical scan unit, so nothing touchs the keystick.  The Pianodisc units work fine. I've done a couple.  I installed alot of the older Gubransan KB1 units with Baldwin Concertmasters, but these aren't available now. They were replaced with PNOscan, which I haven't used yet.

A couple links:

Good luck,
Roy Peters
