Re: Andy Taylor's note in the 111204 MMD
DeBence Museum has a complete and playable Columbus Boudoir player
piano, built in 1907. With it we got a goodly number of playable
rolls.
We restored it, and the stack is like none other we have seen, with the
valve seats crimped onto a piece of heavy, cardboard-like substance.
We ended up getting a local awning company to redo the valve seats with
awning grommets, after we redid the bases for them.
