Verdi and Rossini Player
By Les Smith
Hi, Joe. The player you're searching for is a really obscure one. I've been restoring vintage pneumatic players professionally for over thirty years and I've never even HEARD of a Verdi and Rossini player, much less seen one! However, my records indicate that I did tune a Verdi upright back in the mid-1960's, but it's the only one I ever saw and it definitely was NOT a player. It's possible that Verdi added the Rossini name to their players to distinguish them from their regular, non-player instruments. Because Verdi and Rossini could hardly be called a "name" brand, it is very possible that the dealer who took your old piano in on a trade junked it and it is gone forever. :( However, if by some miracle someone does respond to your post, I would greatly appreciate you're posting back to this list and letting us know what type of player action Verdi and Rossini used and also the serial # inside the piano, if possible. Thanks. And good luck with your quest!
