Length: approx. 1.60m
This is a modern self-playing grand piano with PianoDisc technology. The Berdux grand piano was originally equipped with the PianoDisc PDS-228CFX SymphonyPro self-playing system with diskette and CD. In the meantime, we have upgraded the PianoDisc system to the current Prodigy II with iPad control, i.e. the driver boards and CPU have been renewed. It can be used as a normal hand-playing grand piano and / or as a self-playing grand piano. You can also record and play back your own game - or play in silent mode. From the outside, you can't tell that the grand piano can play itself, as it is controlled via the iPad. The grand piano is beautifully preserved with few signs of use and ageing.
