Jody, thanks for the response and adding me to your list. I've enjoyed
reading the messages, but I may be flying under false colors. My
interest in my pianos has declined in recent years and we will soon be
moving to a smaller house as I recently retired. I would like to sell
some or all of my three pianos and would like to know if this is the
right site to do that, or should I be elsewhere.
[ This is a good place to start, Bob. I've fixed up your letter
[ here like an "ad", and hopefully you will receive some friendly
[ inquiries from our group. All three sound interesting. Good luck.

The Steinway is an upright Duo-Art which I believe was built in 1916.
This piano still plays, but with some loss of expression.
The Knabe appears to be a style K-GE (page 289 of Bower's book), Ampico,
built about 1914. This is what I believe has been referred to as a
Stoddard Ampico as it preceded the model A. Unfortunately it no longer
plays.
The nickelodeon, still playing, is a coin operated conversion of a
Conway (?) piano, with I think 7 instruments.
The pianos are located in Pittsburgh. I've had them about 20 years.
Thanks for your interest.
Bob Wheeler
