While Steinway now offers their own system, there are features they decided not to include that we find particularly valuable about the previous system they favored - the system Lindeblad still endorses and installs. In fact, prior to developing their own proprietary Spirio system, Steinway used one of the player piano systems that Lindeblad continues to recommend for our customers today. Additionally, the Spirio music library only offers Steinway-endorsed musicians with limitations on what can be played through your piano. This severely limits the number of customers that can choose the Steinway player technology.

While it is a good system, the Spirio can only be installed on select Steinways (Model M 5'7' & B 6'10'). Many of our Steinway customers request information about the popular Steinway Spirio player system. We strongly endorse both of these systems for their adaptability to any piano brand and model. Both of these are mid-range in price and are well known for their large music libraries, playback and recording features, as well as their easy iPad interfaces. At Lindeblad, we offer two of the top-rated digital piano player systems on the market. For a marginal additional price at the time of restoration or purchase, piano owners get a piano that is capable of thousands of hours of automatic playing.Īs with any add-on components, player systems can range in price and offer a variety of different functionalities depending on the type and level of investment. Advising our customers to consider installing a player system in their piano is one way we can encourage frequent use, which is best for the health and life of the piano.Īdditionally, installing an automatic player system offers piano owners a chance to get more out of their investment, instead of simply having a piano as a decorative piece in a home. We often have customers come to us for our expert opinion on piano restoration projects and antique piano purchases. A player system can be the perfect solution to increase your daily enjoyment of your piano.

The demands of everyday life often interfere with the ability to spent hours sitting at your piano to play.

For many musicians, the enjoyment of playing your instrument is rivaled only by the enjoyment of listening to your favorite composition or piece of music.
