Miniature Player Piano is Tom Thumb Recordo
By Bob Stewart
The piano on eBay that Bill Chapman refers to is what is referred to
as a Tom Thumb. They typically have a Recordo system. I currently
have one under restoration and another waiting it's turn. Both of mine
use a two-deck Simplex action with a Welte style expression controller.
The pianos appeared to have been branded by several companies, with the
most often seen being Kohler and Campbell. My other one is a Kramer.
If the plates are marked at all, it is usually with a decal.
