Since the 1900's,
Q-R-S Player Rolls have been "rollingout the good times" in homes all over America . The company has been the world's leader in piano roll production, offering a complete selection of hand- played recordings by world famous artists.

Founder Melville Clark, who developed the player piano as we know it today, initiated the Q-R-S  tradition of "Quality and Real Service".  By 1916 his catalog listed over 10,000 rolls.

In 1986 Richard Dolan bought the  business located in Buffalo , N.Y. and  became intrigued with the market  possibilities offered by the acoustic  piano market. The "Pianomation" MIDI  (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)  system was developed making  possible the conversion of acoustic  pianos into self-playing MIDI instruments.

Joe Augustine enjoys a unique  recording relationship with
Q-R-S, the oldest name in music software.  The "Pianomation" MIDI system can automate virtually any piano, and Joe has  had the pleasure of hearing himself play  throughout the world via this wonderful  invention.

Currently six of his "Pianomation" CDs  are available, with
more on the way. Each CD has been recorded on Joe's  own specially-equipped Steinway.  "You'll  experience the relaxed intimacy of his  playing in a way never possible before -  
nothing gets between you and the music"  says Bob Berkman, Executive Producer.

A new "Pianomation" video titled "Joe Augustine - In My Own Words and Music"  is now being shown by Q-R-S dealers  nationwide.  On screen, Joe talks about  his approach to music and his  enthusiasm for the folks at
Q-R-S.  For  more information, contact Q-R-S  Customer Service at 1-800-247-6557, or  visit their website at  www.qrsmusic.com
