Coinola X on YouTube
By Don Teach

Finally someone posted a video of a real Coinola X on YouTube.
It is an earlier model of the famed Coinola X.  The one model before
the one in the video had expression on the tympani beaters but the
one in the video has the earlier style roll frame and early pump that
many like to watch.

The one in the video has orchestra bells and most if not all the
later ones made by Coinola had xylophones.  Although the one in the
video has some minor issues it is really nice to finally see one on
YouTube.

These pianos play the style "O" roll and are considered by many
collectors to be one of the more desirable Coinola pianos to have in
a collection.  The one in the video is quarter sawn oak that Coinola
was famous for using.  I have one in dark walnut that is beautiful as
well as two oak ones.  (Just so you know, I am a Coinola fan, in fact,
the self-appointed president of the Coinola Fan Club!)

Keep posting those videos!
