Retrofit Pneumatic Player Actions
By Joe Gumbosky

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Hi.  I'm a tuner in SW Pennsylvania, in business for just over
21 years.  Occasionally I come across player grand pianos that
unfortunately have had their player, Recordo or reproducing mechanisms
discarded.  Some of these pianos are quite good instruments and are
good candidates for rebuilding.  (You can probably see where this is
leading.)  I've already been in touch with the folks at Ragtime
Automated Instruments.  Their conversion kits will work in a grand
piano, but their product, while very impressive, really  seems designed
for the creation of nickelodeons, using nickelodeon rolls.  I was
wondering if there might be some one making pneumatic retrofit or
conversion kits with the regular player roll in mind.  Many, many
thanks.
