Ken,  I haven't owned a whole lot of foot pump players but I did own
a Weber Themodist Metrostyle piano.  Just from the way it played --
from very soft to loud with a minor push of the foot, and the added
advantage of the extra Theme holes that accented the melody like
a Duo-Art -- made for some wonderful times pumping away.

Sadly, when I moved I couldn't locate anyone close to repair it when
moisture effected the valves.  And that wouldn't have happened except
the piano needed a new lower bridge replaced.  With the action removed
it sat on the floor in one of my rooms.  At the time I didn't realize
how much dampness is in this area.  When the bridge was installed after
months of waiting, the piano had lost its sensitive abilities.
