[pianotech] Player

[John Ross]

I always found it too awkward, with just the air motor removed.
I prefer to remove the whole unit.
But then again, if I am going to a player, I carry tubing with me to  
replace the brittle stuff.
If you don't have the tubing then, just removing the air motor is a  
safer way to go.
