Turn your home piano into a Hybrid Silent Piano.
Do you get shy playing the piano around others?
Do your neighbours not appreciate your piano playing?
Do the kids drown out the TV when you’re trying to watch?
Do you want to record your playing to a computer or tablet?
Do you want to play along to strings, organs and other instrumentation?
Do you want to bring your piano into the 21st century?
If you answered yes to any of the above, PianoTech can help you out by fitting a Silent Piano System to your piano.
Installing PianoDisc’s Magic Star V6, Silent Piano System will help you to unlock a new universe of musical potential!
A Piano Silencer is a device that is installed inside your existing acoustic piano. Once installed it allows you to play silently using headphones, preventing the disruption of those around you. Whether your piano is grand or upright, new or used, PianoTech has a system for you.
When you activate the silent practice facility, the piano hammers will no longer hit the strings. Instead, a newly installed sensor rail under the keys captures all key movements and sends the information to the digital processing unit.QuietTime® Magic Star V6 – Features:

PianoTech has used Magic Star to save an old piano from landfill. The piano had a crack in the wood tuning wrest plank and could not be tuned. Due to sentimental value the customer would not part with it. We suggested fitting PianoDisc Silent System, giving this piano a new life as a digital instrument. When connected to a speaker system the Piano sounded better than the day it was made. In the end we were left with one very happy customer who has regained full use of her piano without ever needing it tuned.
Most pianos can be fitted with this system but some very small pianos or pianos with less than 88 keys may not be compatible.
