Pianola Institute CD Department

You can already hear some examples of pianolas and reproducing pianos by means of the mp3 downloads dotted about our website. But for the original quality audio and a much wider selection of music, why not order one of our Pianola Institute CDs? We currently have four in our shop, three that we have produced ourselves, and one for which we co-operated with the NMC label. They are illustrated below - click on the CD images for further information and audio samples.
