Player System for Steinway XR Grand
By Matthew Zubek

I would like to thank all of you who gave me the information about
the Duo Art mechanism for my piano.  I would also like to thanks
those who called me as well.  At this time, I don't know which size
or what model system my piano had.

When I started this project, I thought that it was going to be a one
size fits all project.  After talking to many of you, I now realize
that this was not only going to be hard to match up parts but also
extremely expensive to recondition the system.  At this point in my
life, just getting the piano back to its original playing quality and
looks, is expensive.  I don't have that kind of money to finish the
project and then give it to my dad.

So with that said, Step 1: finish piano as a Steinway instrument.
Step 2: Research and identify which system my piano had.  Step 3:
(next year maybe) acquire all the parts or start to gather them.
Step 4: restore them and install or change to MIDI system.

Thanks again for all who contributed.  Amazing to me how many of you
people there are out there and how kind you are.
