FS: Melville Clark Apollo Ex-Player Piano
By Mark Steinhauer

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

I own an old circa 1905 Melville Clark Apollo player piano that was
converted many years ago.  It has none of its original player guts,
but is playable and in good shape other than 3 or 4 keys don't work.
The last person to tune it stated that it was beyond tuning anymore due
to the fact that the strings were too tight and further tuning would
break something.

Is this something that has any value, perhaps to someone who can use
the case in a restoration?

Thanks,
Mark Steinhauer
