Quality of Aeolian Player Piano Brands
By Brian Schellberg

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

Hello all,  I'd like a learned opinion of the quality of the Aeolian
pianos.  I know a restorer in Houston, fairly close to me, who has
an Aeolian Duo-Art baby grand that he will restore and sell me.  An
acquaintance tells me that I should hold out for a "name" piano like
Steck or Weber.  I believe the pianos serial number puts it in the
mid-1920s or so.  Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Brian Schellberg
