FS: Stroud Foot-Pumped Half Duo-Art Upright
By Ed Gloeggler

With some sorrow I have to say goodbye to my Stroud foot-pumped
upright player.  Probably made around 1926, the Stroud plays well
though the piano action needs some attention.  The player mechanism
consists of the "half expression box" where the player controls the
theme expression by pumping and the Duo-Art perforations control the
accompaniment expression.  Rebuilt by Bill McGuire about sixteen years
ago.  The player action works fairly well.

The piano is located in Long Beach, New York on Long Island about an
hour from Manhattan.  It has to go.  Make an offer and I'll help you
load it.
