re: Anyone have any experience with a player piano?

Yamaha Disklavier is the way to go. They've got uprights and grands with the servo drive keys. Yamaha is solid. I'd go for a used one, the new prices on these are insane.

The Disklavier system has been around a long time and should be easy to get serviced. I've known a few people with them as well as the ones in the music school at UCF and never have heard of problems. I don't think they get much use though, people have these things play for holidays and the occasional dinner party. Maybe 5 nights of use a year, so most aren't high mileage.
