National 8-roll Selecting Coin Piano
By Phil Edwards

[ Ref. 130409 MMDigest, Seek Photos of National 8-roll Changer Piano

The Empire State Theatre & Musical Instrument Museum has a National
8-roll piano in their collection.  It's currently in operating condition
but not totally restored.  We have several photographs on our web site
at http://empiretheater.org/national_automatic_music_co.htm  We would be
delighted if you are able to use our images for your article.

We recently picked up some new rolls for it from a fellow MMD reader.
We have inquired about having it completely restored from ground-up,
but obtaining the financing has been challenging, to say the least.

I also have a short video of it on YouTube at
