Angelus Orchestral Player Piano With Reeds
By Horacio Asborno

Hi MMDigest readers!  Last month I purchased an Angelus Orchestral,
Style C, a very nice instrument, and yesterday I received it at home.
It's a Wilcox & White Co. player piano with reeds, which plays 88-note
Melodant rolls.  It also has a mandolin attachment.  The serial number
is 40107, so piano was made in 1920.  You can see photos at Facebook:

It looks like the keyboard was recently disassembled, probably to
move from its original location, so there is some tubing missing and
other connections which have no place to go.  I'm not sure that all
(connections) are inside.  Also, the Angelus roll-tracking device is
"new for me".  It would be great if someone can help with a tubing
chart, technical manual, or just with some photos from other Angelus
player, and I will be very grateful.  Thanks for visiting the page.

Regards from Viedma, Patagonia, Argentina,

Horacio Asborno
