However there are a multitude of professional applications that electronics can offer music and Steingraeber has demonstrated just that with a Steingraeber Transducer Piano in a series of trial runs* by composer Robert HP Platz from the University of Musik Würzburg, and pianist Clara Murnig from the Beethoven Institute at the University of Music Vienna. They are often used for muting, or in ‘player pianos’ for example, and in pop music where, of late, the sound just booms out directly from the piano’s soundboard.
