Mr. Colin Campbell, of Perth, Western Australia, writes, "I have
recently purchased a Roenisch Claviola player piano; however, I am
having difficulty establishing the origin of the player mechanism
despite numerous web searches."

Mr. Campbell sent us photos of his newly restored piano, showing an
88-note Themodist/Solodant tracker bar and spools for transporting the
roll from top to bottom.  The hand controls are on a small console
which unfolds from the case below the keys.  The Roenisch piano bears
serial number 46054 stamped into the right inside case wall.

Could somebody please tell us the possible origin of the player
mechanism, and the date of this beautiful instrument?  Photos are at
