Weber Grand Pianola in Sydney
By Daniel Cox

G'day all!  My recent purchase of a loverly rosewood finished Weber
Themodist 6-foot grand pumper player has now added new interest to
my collection.  If anyone could confirm my build date I would be
very appreciative.  The serial number is 68713 for which I worked
out as 1913(?) and should be of a UK make.

The piano needs refinishing and the dismantled player action needs
a full rebuild.  Besides a few small missing parts, all else seems
very good and complete.  I'm hoping within twelve months it will be
back to its old self again and clips will be added to my YouTube
channel showing the finished product, but more importantly a player
brought back to the way it was intended for us to enjoy.

Many thanks,
Daniel Cox
Worrigee/Sydney, Australia
