Everyone I have seen has been installed on the piano. They hang down like an 8-track tape player from the dashboard of a 1970 Dodge Dart (or I guess if you install one on a Bosendorfer, it would look like an 8-track hanging from the dash of a Rolls Royce!). IMHO TACKY! Yuk, yuk, yuk. I realize this may be the only practical installation option in many applications. But not all. If I were to ever install one on my piano, the box would go on a nearby shelf somewhere - much like a stereo component. And to go one step further, at least in a home installation, why put those goofy little speakers under the piano? Why not run the PianoDisk background/orchestrated/whatever-you-call-them tracks through a decent home stereo? Terry Farrell </BLOCKQUOTE> Terry That can very easily be done. The reason the speakers are under the piano, is because that is where they are installed at the factory. The same with the control box. However, there is nothing to prevent the owner of the piano to ask that the speakers be disconnected, and the wires run through his/her own speaker system, and for the control box to be set on a shelve somewhere. However, as far as the speakers are concerned, you want to make sure they are close to the piano. The music coming from the speakers are supposed to be part of the piano music being played. If the speakers are in another part of the room, it won't necessarily be a stereo effect. Wim </HTML>
