[sdiy] disklavier/midi piano

[mahogany at simdisc.com]

Hi All,
Been lurking on the list for a while now, learning a lot; this is a great,
diverse group of people. 
I've finally got something I thought I might bring up: I am interested in
fitting a Disklavier-like 
system to a piano, where I would strip out the keyboard and case, leaving
the 'guts' and 
soundboard--which I would then build into a large rolling road case.
Basically I want to wind 
up with an instrument that would sound somewhat like a piano and could be
mic'd and/or 
fitted with transducers, but it would be entirely MIDI-actuated and
portable. Is it possible to 
purchase a Disklavier or Disklavier-like kit to install? Or is there a DIY
parts list/instruction set 
to download somewhere? Curious if this subject is even applicable to the
list, but all the recent 
talk about the Telharmonium got me thinking more about physically
mechanical instruments. 
Take care,
Andrew.
