QRS Player Systems from R. KASSMAN

QRS was founded in 1900 by Melville Clark (of Story & Clark piano fame) who developed the player piano as we know it today. QRS supplied music rolls to the player piano market, with production peaking in 1927, when QRS Music Company sold 10 million rolls.

In 1986, QRS began focusing on new technologies, and in 1989 released its first digital retrofit player piano kit under the Pianomation™ name. Today QRS is an industry leader in introducing fun innovations in home musical entertainment. QRS Music Technologies became a public company in 1996.

Whether its Yamaha's Disklavier, PianoDisc or QRS Pianomation, today's player piano entertainment systems are based on solenoids and plungers that are computer-activated to move the keys. The design and construction of the solenoids and plungers is a key differentiator between brands and an important consideration when choosing your entertainment system. QRS Pianomation has long been considered the "gold standard" in the industry for player piano technology, and with good reason.

• Pianomation uses specially designed solenoids and plungers that eliminate problems commonly found in competitive systems.
• With Qsync and your DVD player, you can watch your favorite artists perform in concert while listening to the music played live in your home. Qsync’s patent pending technology enables your Pianomation® entertainment system to play in sync with off-the-shelf DVDs, so you can watch your favorite artists perform in concert while they “play” your piano!
• The Total Performance™ sound card enables you to play any of the thousands of industry-standard MIDI files currently on the Internet that contain orchestrated music in addition to piano. It features 127 high quality sounds encompassing many musical groups including pianos, organs, guitars, brass, woodwinds, strings and more.

Today, there is nothing you can do with a digital piano that you can’t do with a piano with the proper QRS Pianomation accessories. Via PNOscan and ports, QRS Pianomation gives you and your piano the ability to connect with new MIDI devices, personal computers and the Internet and take advantage of new technology as it develops. Whether you want to learn to play the piano or are an accomplished professional musician, QRS Pianomation systems are designed to meet your needs.
