To Develop Handheld Self-Tuning Piano Device; Worldwide Rights Granted to Sublicense the Technology NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2002--QRS Music Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:<A HREF="aol://4785:QRSM">QRSM</A>) announced today that it has acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, sublicense and sell a Handheld Self-Tuning Piano device. Presently, the system does not have a trade name, but the project's working name is "Pocket Tune." Late last month, QRS Music Technologies announced plans to develop a self-tuning piano. That technology, with the working name "Auto Tune," is incorporated into the piano at the time of manufacture. Pocket Tune is based on similar technology, but will be available in a small hand-held form for tuning pianos already in the marketplace. Richard A. Dolan, President and Chairman, said: "This portable handheld self-tuning device will permit a piano to be completely tuned in about one-half hour. The semi-annual piano tuning appointments can now be replaced by weekly or monthly tune-ups done in the home by the piano owner. The pianist is virtually the only modern musician who cannot tune his/her own instrument. The quality of each piano performance will be improved simply by having the piano in the best tune possible. I estimate there are approximately 20 million pianos in the United States and each of those piano owners could benefit from this device." QRS Music Technologies acquired the rights to develop this unique technology from the inventor, Don A. Gilmore, Kansas City, Missouri. Under the terms of the Patent License Agreement, QRS Music Technologies will pay for the cost of developing the technology and will have a twenty-year (20) exclusive use of the technology. The royalty payment amount was not disclosed. A U.S. Patent Application has been made. QRS Music Technologies will have the worldwide right to grant sublicenses. QRS Music Technologies anticipates the product will be brought to the market within the next six to eight quarters. The retail price and marketing strategy are as yet undetermined. However, the factors that will be used to determine that strategy will include the fact that presently piano owners are recommended to tune their piano at least twice a year and they spend on average $75 to have their piano tuned. QRS Music also markets the QRS Pianomation(TM) system that can turn any piano into a reproducing player piano. A hardware and software process can store and transport Musical Instrument Digital Interface ("MIDI") information as an analog signal. This process gives QRS the ability to store, and wirelessly transmit, MIDI performance data in an analog format from a controller (CD, video, cassette, DVD, DAT or Minidisc) to the receiver on the piano. This creates numerous possibilities. For example, most off-the-shelf audio equipment has a left and right channel available for use. State-of-the-art technology permits QRS to store the digital signal in an analog format on the left channel of the software which operates those players. This leaves the right channel available for live prerecorded audio music, even vocal recordings. Pianomation(TM) blends them together in perfect harmony and perfect synchronization. The Pianomation(TM) MIDI System is the first product of its kind to "marry" analog and digital technology. </HTML>
