Dear Geoff and all members of the Disklavier Support Group,
I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you — to Geoff Ward as the group's owner, and to every single member who has contributed to building what is, without exaggeration, one of the most extraordinary musical resources I have ever encountered.
I recently joined the group and gained access to the archive of nearly 13,000 MIDI files. I cannot overstate how stunned I was by the sheer scale, the careful curation, and the sheer love for this art form that radiates from every corner of this collection.
This isn't just a database — it's a living monument to the player piano tradition, preserved by people who genuinely care.
I understand, perhaps better than most newcomers, just how many thousands of hours have gone into this work. The painstaking process of scanning fragile century-old piano rolls before they crumble. The careful renaming of files so others can navigate them.
The conversion between formats. The patient answering of questions in the forum. The quiet, persistent effort of keeping a community alive across decades, when so many similar projects have simply faded away.
This is not the work of a company. This is not driven by profit. This is the work of true enthusiasts — people who refuse to let beautiful music die simply because the technology that carried it is aging.
You are preserving a part of musical history that nobody else is preserving in this way, and you are doing it freely, with patience, with skill, and with love.
To Geoff Ward — thank you for stewarding this community with such dedication.
To every contributor who uploaded files, fixed metadata, scanned a roll, answered a beginner's question, or simply kept the conversation going — thank you.
You are, quite simply, the best community of its kind on the internet, and I say that having looked thoroughly at every alternative.
My piano will play music tonight that would otherwise have been forgotten. My family will hear performances captured a century ago. None of that would be possible without your work.
Please know that your effort is not invisible. It is not taken for granted. It reaches people in places you may never know about, and it brings real joy into homes far beyond your immediate circle.
From the bottom of my heart — thank you. Keep doing what you're doing. The world is richer because of it.
With deep respect and gratitude,
Evgeniy.
