Unlike a player piano, reproducers captured many levels of force used on the keys so that their dynamic range allowed for playback that sounds much more like a human artist. Part of the cost came from its ornate decorations but mostly from the Aeolian, Duo-Art mechanism that turned this piano into a reproducing piano.
