FS: Gotha Steck Pianola in California
By Meg Starbuck

I have a Steck that is made in Gotha, Germany.  (My piano tuner found
the plate inside that indicated that.)  The player function needs
restoring: you can play it if you pump real hard.  The piano, an upright
made of ribbon mahogany, is in beautiful condition.  Only one family
owned this piano for years; it came over from England after the war.
There are also about 20 antique rolls of jazz, etc.  I understand, from
the history I found, that this is made from the finest parts and wood.
