Suction Source in Modern Player Pianos
By Michael Stehney 

Hi Experts!  Can you please tell a novice:  On modern player pianos that
play paper rolls, is the player suction mechanism run by an electric
motor working bellows, or is it run by an electric vacuum motor (similar
to ones used in vacuum cleaners)?

Thank you very much,
