Sound Effects "Toy Counter" for a Player Piano
By Greg Graham

I've been kicking around the idea of building a prototype unit that
would sit on top of a typical upright player piano and provide many
of the pull-cord "toy counter" features of a Photoplayer.

Think of it as "Photoplayer Junior!"  It would provide the drums,
sirens, car horns, and other non-melody devices, and just sit on top
or beside an existing player piano.  Does anyone know if such a device
has already been done?
