FS: Themodist Pumper Grand in Santa Cruz
By Bing Gibbs

Grand Pianola Piano, 6 foot, George Steck Themodist Pumping Player
Piano. The treadles are built in to the lyre cabinet.  These grand
type players are somewhat rare.

Case is mottled mahogany and is in good condition. Doesn't need
refinishing.  Piano action needs some repair work.  The soundboard
and strings need a good cleaning and the bass strings could use
cleaning, twisting and reinstallation. The soundboard is in good
shape.  Player action works OK, except for a few keys that also don't
work when manually played.  Piano roll runs smoothly, as was the case
with most Aeolian player actions.

Has original player style bench (slight angle to top)  Piano has
double legs as did all the reproducing player pianos of that period.
Approximately 80ea 88 Note rolls and 5 Themodist rolls with piano.
Piano is located in Santa Cruz, California, USA.  $3500.00  Contact:
