What is a QRS Player Piano System?
A QRS Player Piano System is a modern self-playing piano technology that allows your acoustic piano to perform music automatically.
The system uses advanced software to move the keys and pedals, producing authentic live piano sound directly from your instrument.
Does a QRS player system affect how my piano feels or sounds?
When professionally installed, a QRS system does not change the natural touch or tone of your piano during normal playing. You can continue to play your piano just as you always have.
What type of music comes with a QRS player piano?
QRS offers an extensive digital music library including classical, jazz, pop, holiday favorites, Broadway, and more.
Your QRS system comes with a complimentary trial of the QRS music library so you can experience the full range of music right away.
After your complimentary trial, you can continue enjoying music through flexible streaming access plans or purchase and download your favorite songs individually.
How much does a QRS Player Piano System cost?
Pricing varies depending on installation requirements, and optional upgrades such as silent playm or PNOscan MIDI Strip integration. Please contact us for a customized quote.

How long does installation take?
Installation time varies depending on the piano and system configuration, but most QRS player installations are completed within a week or two by our trained technicians.
If you’re purchasing a new piano from us, we can install the QRS system as part of the preparation process before delivery, so your instrument arrives fully integrated and ready to enjoy.
If you’re upgrading or restoring an heirloom piano, we can incorporate the QRS installation during the restoration process — ensuring everything is properly fitted, regulated, and calibrated for optimal performance.
Whether new or cherished for generations, we’ll make sure your piano is expertly prepared and beautifully integrated with modern player technology.

Piano Technology
Record Your Performance with a MIDI Strip
PNOscan is a high-resolution MIDI sensor system made by QRS Music that turns your acoustic piano into a digital MIDI controller—without changing how it feels or sounds acoustically.
Installed discreetly beneath the keys (and connected to the pedals), PNOscan uses optical sensors to measure each key’s movement and velocity with great precision. It converts your performance into real-time MIDI data, which can then be sent to:
- Recording software
- Notation programs
- Virtual instruments and sound libraries
- Teaching apps and digital platforms
- External sound modules or speakers
Importantly, PNOscan does not make the piano play itself—it captures what you play. If you want your piano to move its keys and play itself automatically, you'll want to check out the QRS player system.
PNOscan is ideal for teachers, composers, recording musicians, churches, and anyone who wants to blend the authentic touch of an acoustic piano with modern digital flexibility.
Acoustic piano with headphones
Enjoy Private Practice with a Silent System
A Silent Play system allows you to practice your acoustic piano anytime—without disturbing family members or neighbors. With the touch of a button, the piano’s hammers are gently prevented from striking the strings, while advanced sensors capture your keystrokes and route high-quality digital samples through your headphones.
You experience the authentic touch and response of your own piano, while hearing a rich, full concert grand sound privately.
Perfect for early mornings, late nights, shared living spaces, or focused practice sessions, Silent Play technology gives you complete flexibility—enjoy the beauty of your acoustic instrument when you want it, and quiet, immersive practice when you need it.
