Seek Parts for Willis Player Piano
By Pierre Lavigne, forwarded

Sir,  The Foxtail Group name was given to me by John A. Tuttle.
What I am looking for is parts and sketch to repair my mechanical piano.
Tubings are missing from a block which looks like check valve, pedal
loud, forward/reverse.  These tubings have never been changed on the
head.  The vacuum solenoid for each note works quite okay.

The piano was made in early 30's and it's a Willis made in Montreal
Canada.  The company does not exit any more, but I believe that the
mechanism was made somewhere else,  and it might be in the States.  If
you have any documents or info which could help me I would appreciate
it.

Thank you
