This was a mechanical/pneumatic device for recording a piano performance and then playing it back on a real piano. Yamaha bought this patent and brought it to a modern, electronic version. Consumers can buy these specially outfitted Yamaha pianos (not cheap)--I think that "disklavier" is their brand name for this--and purchase the recordings as well. Newer ones combine CD players, XG synths, MIDI in and out, and all kinds of goodies.
