Cost of Player Action for Weber Duo-Art Pianola
By ftuennecke@earthlink.net

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

I have recently acquired a Weber Duo-Art Pianola, serial #71652,
style 58P.  The unit has been in storage a long time and requires
restoration.

I assume this was a player piano but it appears that the player
mechanism has been removed.  Is it possible to acquire a player
mechanism for this unit?  If so, where can it be purchased and what
might be the approximate cost?  Are player rolls readily available?

Thanks for any information.

Fred

 [ Hmmm.  When was this piano built?  1920s or 1970s?  What did
 [ the independent piano firms of the 1920s pay for a Recordo
 [ action kit which was installed by the piano builder, or by
 [ a piano dealer?  What price does the customer pay nowadays to
 [ purchase a modern solenoid player system and install it in the
 [ customer's piano?  Is this comparable to the cost of buying
 [ and installing the Pianocorder system in the 1970s?  -- Robbie
