Introduction

This installation manual will guide you through the process of fitting the PianoDisc High

Definition SilentDrive reproducing piano system to virtually any grand piano. Along with

the knowledge and experience gained from a PianoDisc Installation Seminar, this guide

should be an invaluable resource.

This document is considered confidential by PianoDisc, and is for the sole use of PianoDisc

ertified Technicians. It may not be reproduced, distributed or quoted in whole or in part

without the express written permission of PianoDisc.

This guide is only to be used in the installation of the PianoDisc SilentDrive Reproducing

System.

PianoDisc systems may ONLY be installed by technicians who have been certified by

PianoDisc to perform such installations. If you have come into possession of this manual

and/or a Retrofit Kit and you are NOT a PianoDisc ertified Technician, DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THE INSTALLATION. Installations not performed by a

certified PianoDisc technician WILL NOT meet the requirements for warranty protection,

and such an installation will likely void the piano manufacturer’s warranty for the instrument

and the player system, and may also be a violation of F rules.

Technicians may only be certified by attending the PianoDisc installation Seminar at

PianoDisc’s Factory and World Headquarters in Sacramento, A, or by on site training

evaluation and certification by one of the PianoDisc Factory Installation Technicians duly

authorized to certify technicians. A candidate for PianoDisc certification should be a Quali-

fied Piano Technician understanding piano action regulation. A candidate who does not

qualify under this rule will be evaluated on an individual basis, with an emphasis on total

experience as a piano technician and possible previous experience in retrofitting pianos with

other player piano mechanisms.

PianoDisc encourages PianoDisc technicians to comment on this installation manual by

writing to: PianoDisc, 4111 North Freeway Boulevard, Sacramento, A 95834, or by fax at

(916) 567-1941. Please restrict telephone calls to technical questions and installation

inquiries. Thank you.

Technical assistance for PianoDisc ertified Technicians is available Monday through

Friday. The telephone number is: (916) 567-9999.

from the keyframe and place it somewhere safe.
