88-note Lösche Player Piano
By Olaf Schreiber

Hello,  I would like to ask if anyone of you knows more about
a model of a piano from Paul Loesche, Leipzig, Germany.  It is just
a self-player without any additional instrumentation.  It plays
standard rolls of 285 mm [11.25"], playing 84 keys.  Nowhere in the
instrument is the name of the model mentioned.  Any idea or hint will
be highly appreciated. Please kindly check the attached photos.

The lower frame of the piano in question is not original.  That's
why I've added also a photo of the same model, found in the Internet.
Also I added a roll label and a photo of the mechanism.  I'm sorry that
I could not post better photos -- the owner bought the instrument
already disassembled.

Thank you in advance,
Olaf Schreiber
Germany
