•Cleaning out shop.  5 player pianos for sale, all built in the late teens
or twenties. All the player mechanisms need full restoration.

Wheelock DUO-ART upright, complete except for accordion pneumatics (rest
of expression box, incl. valves intact), comes with extra duo-art top
stack for parts.  Mechanism never restored, original action, ivories, and
strings.  Cabinet has been antiqued white.  In overall very good shape.
Has small-type pump, sometimes called the 'tugboat' pump.

Francis-Bacon upright, Standard player mechanism.  Cabinet has the
original finish, interior rough but complete.

A. B. Chase upright player.  Mechanism not the under the keybed type but
is fully contained inside the cabinet.  Cabinet is painted brown, interior
rough but complete.

Grinnel Bros. (Aeolian) Themodist upright.  Expression mechanism
disassembled.  Cabinet is painted but has been partially stripped and is a
beautiful book-matched walnut or mahogany (fancy cut).  Ivory keytops in
good shape.  Top stack functions on the bench, but probably should be
rebuilt.  Piano bench included.

Baldwin Monarch upright.  Completely original, cabinet in good shape.
Action, keys and strings in good shape.  Player mechanism never restored.

The above pianos are for sale as a package for $1200.  The Duo-Art alone
is worth close to that.  I have had some of these pianos for more than six
years and have been too busy to restore them, and am tired of storing
them.  If interested, or for more info.,  e-mail hgustaf101@aol.com or
call me at my shop.
