FAQ:

Lucid Pianos uses only the very best of the player pianos evolution: PNOmation (PianoMation) system.

PianoMation can be installed on a large format uprights 124cm (=49’) and 132cm(= 52’) and all baby grand and grand pianos.
Blüthner Pianoforte Factory will pre-load your self-playing piano with the entire QRS music library which includes thousands of titles of all varieties. You would be able to immerse yourself in myriad of different genres and learn and play a great deal of piano repertory.
The cost of a self-playing system installation is 11.450 € on any Lucid grand piano and baby grand piano models (also selected uprights). Whatever self- playing bundle you decide on will include iPad with all necessary apps. Price does vary based on the type of bundle you choose and if you require further technological customization.

QRS PNOmation

PNOmation is designed to support the evolutions of its technology and therefore ensures that all subsequent upgrades to the system will have full integration capacity. This forward thinking guarantees that you will always have the latest and most advance features in the exciting world of self playing pianos.

BENEFITS OF FACTORY INSTALLATION

All quality player piano systems work best if factory installed. As the elaborate mechanism it integrated seamlessly into the acoustical instrument it requires special skills and know-how of trained artisans to carry out this process. Each grand piano has different micro components, dimensions and measurements making aftermarket installation potentially less-then-optimal when it comes to delivering the best possible results.

BEST IN CLASS SOLENOIDS

PNOmation uses longer fully encased solenoids, which deliver better sound at soft dynamic. They are also corrosion-free and are self-lubricating. The Controller User Interface is fully integrated into the body of the grand piano (or upright) so there is no visible ‘box’ hanging anywhere on the instrument. The actual technology is seemingly simple – as all things genius. The solenoid is installed at the back of the key and the infrared optical sensor determines the velocity and speed of the impact. It simply pushes up on the key end (conversely to finger striking it downwards) which activates the hammer which strikes the string. Clearly there is much more to it than just that. In today’s self playing pianos the super computer calculates the nano-seconds’ of the action to make sure the results are indistinguishable from the live performance.
