The system has a record strip mounted behind the front rail key pins with
those membrane fingers that gently touch the bottom of the keys. It has a
electronics panel mounted in the bottom of the piano, and the midi cable
comes off that out the back.

The other solution I thought of might be to invest in one of the "virtual
grands" that is software based such as Pianoteq or Ivory. I think these
allow individual "voicing" of notes.
