The Koto Rokudan and Sakura mpeg recordings. The Koto is an ancient Japanese instrument that is still played today, although it's not nearly as popular as in the past. The sound is very interesting, not rhythmic in the way you may expect, but it's definitely got a twang! Most Japanese don't listen to it much,because it is so traditional.

Outline of Piano Performance [1997 version] To anyone who gets here: this project has been hanging fire almost since its inception and outline. It has been taking forever, for various reasons.

15.	Writing for the Bosendorfer 290SE Reproducing Piano [Alan Frederick Shockley] This piano in particular, as a Bosendorfer 290SE reproducing piano, is an interesting combination of technologies. It is first (at least first in my mind) a piano. But this piano is quite different from the legless, small-voiced wonder in Cristofori's workshop. It is a nine-and-a-half-foot concert grand piano, with a player piano "under the hood." URL: http://www.accad.ohio-state.edu/interface/S96/shockley.html
