Marantz Pianocorder
Rare Vintage Marantz Pianocorder. Elegant solid wood constructions. In 1977, Teledyne built an electronic solenoid operated piano playing system retrofit (replacing the old pneumatic player systems) that was sold by Sony/Superscope/Marantz. It was named Pianocorder. The Pianocorder was an electronic player piano mechanism that, by means of a digitally encoded cassette tape, could record or play a "live" performance on any piano in which it was installed (using material from the old Welte, Duo-Art and Ampico player piano roll catalogues), the output of which was fed to keyboard solenoids. Marantz manufactured this piano with Pianocorder installed. $425
