•Hi MMD, I received a surprise visit from my machinist yesterday and the delivery of two new piano roll repair tables. The machinist who makes the tables has been quite busy with other jobs so it has been awhile since we have had any available. The price is the same, $280.00 which covers the table, ...

•I have a well-restored Red Welte Steinway keyboardless cabinet piano for sale with about 80 rolls. I work abroad in Vietnam and Cambodia for a charity and the instrument is not getting used enough. I purchased the piano from the estate of John Bottomley (London) around 1976. It has been beautifully...

•This is the most unusual wind motor I have ever seen, one that goes in a complete circle. I was browsing Craigslist when I happened across the ad for the Price & Teeple player which features it. A picture is attached. Link to ad: http://desmoines.craigslist.org/msg/5643529902.html Luke Myers ldmyer...

•I was browsing the Craigslist site for "player piano" when up came this: http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/msg/5682529292.html The ad says, "We have a 1923 Straube upright piano that is in slightly less than serviceable condition, yet all ivory keys are present. The player mechanism was professionally...

•This subject is one that has been discussed awhile back -- the dislike of certain songs that unfortunately have come to misrepresent the player piano. The number one song I absolutely cannot stand is "The Entertainer". I have lost count of just how many times I have heard that stupid roll on some Y...

•Greetings all, I recently looked at a Universal player piano, model P-2, built sometime in the 1970s(?). It needs a stack rebuild -- half the notes don't play and it is only pulling 15 inches water gage under full throttle. The leaks are quite obvious when a tracker bar tube is off and you are with...

•Is there anyone in my general neighborhood who will come here and fix a minor problem? The reroll/play switch in my 1926 Weber Duo-Art baby grand does not work; it just rerolls all the time. I moved away from Massachusetts (and my technical help) to Poughkeepsie, New York, in June. I need to establ...

•For sale: 1927 Mason and Hamlin 9-foot concert grand Ampico. The first of three made by Mason and Hamlin, this piano was originally used in comparison concerts in England. The Ampico mechanism is an enhanced version of the regular model A and was designed to provide an extended dynamic range using ...

•Well, it is finally done! This afternoon, at 1:50 P.M., the player piano played its first roll, "Five Foot Two," using the Aeolian stack which I successfully retro-fitted to the Auto-Player piano. It was a very good choice for a new stack. I am so very happy about this! Luke Myers ldmyers95@gmail.c...

•I recently acquired a Stella 17-inch disc music box and purchased it without the crank handle. It does work and was demonstrated to me before purchase. I have improvised a home made crank to do me in the meantime but would prefer an original one for obvious reasons. If anyone can direct me to a sou...

•I recently purchased an antique Christmas tree stand. I am looking for a replacement for a 50-tooth comb and cylinder movement that plays two non-Christmas songs. I was told your organization may be able to help. If you have something like this, please contact me. I am sending pictures of what need...

•Yes, the 170 volt section of the power supply does power all the solenoids in the system, including the keys and both pedals. If you need schematics, I can e-mail some PDFs. E-mail me at classic.musical.instrument@gmail.com.geentroep [delete ".geentroep" to reply]. If you like, I have some videos o...

•Has anyone come across a roll, that when played in reverse, plays an entirely different song (or a "more interesting" arrangement of the same song)? I don't know who might be willing to try this with their player. (Better do it on an old, deteriorating piano roll rather than a new one.) "Well, this...

•In the photo at https://www.mmdigest.com/Gallery/Pictures/herr01.html Randolph Herr describes a mystery pneumatic in his Red Welte Vorsetzer, and concludes that the only thing it could possibly have been was a tracker bar pump. I believe he is correct, after seeing something similar (but not attach...

•I have for sale two 65 note Kimball Player Rolls. At first glance I didn't pay much attention (I thought they were regular 88-note rolls) but I noticed later that they did in fact match the specifications for 65-note rolls. The titles are Blue Bells of Scotland - K 2411 - Transcription, W. Kuhe Mil...
