Good evening, everyone, and Happy 4th of July! I found a fascinating photo of a pre-Disklavier piano: http://www.yamaha.com/about_yamaha/corporate/product_history/ It's photo #44 out of 154. This upright instrument was built in 1982 and was called Piano Player. It appears to feature a 5.25" floppy drive. I have been told that it worked with a tone generator and that music education was one of the concepts behind the design. Regards, PianoBench
