Unique Stoddard Ampico with Welte Pump
from Giovanni Vitiello •Hi all, some time ago I bought an American Piano Company Stoddard Ampico. The curious thing is the inscription "Welte", which I think is original, located near the tracker bar. I have already asked the very kind John A. Tuttle and the expert in Welte, Mr. Hans Schmitz, but even they do not have an ... |

Steger Natural Player Action Schematic Diagram
from Luke Myers •Here is a better schematic of my circa 1910 double-valve Steger Natural Player. I did this over a period of three days with AutoCAD. The file is a pdf.

Extra Holes in Ampico B Tracker Bar
from Luke Myers •The best guess I can come up with is that at some point, someone decided to drill those extra holes in the tracker bar, for which reason we may never know. Those holes do not look original to me. Unless those holes are where someone inserted new nipples behind them, and connected the corresponding ... |

Randolph Herr Collection - A Sad Story
from Luke Myers •It is a shame that the instruments of the late Randolph Herr have been treated in such an uncaring way. It has become obvious to me that the heirs of the estate did not and do not really care about preserving those particular specimens of mechanical music. One statement which quite upsets me is the... |

Airtight Player Pianos On YouTube
from Luke Myers •There are three videos on YouTube of a certain player piano which must have been restored with the "most airtight materials ever." I mean, you could practically just _nudge_ a pedal and the player would start going. There are three girls who play one selection each on this piano, as follows: Rudolp... |

Tracker Bar Pump Vs. Vacuum Cleaner
from Luke Myers •I must say that the tracker bar pump I received today via an eBay seller beats the vacuum cleaner hands down. I had sucked out "some" of the debris in the tracker bar hoses with a vacuum cleaner, but there was still quite a bit in there. This afternoon I tried the tracker bar pump. Boy oh boy did t... |

Rebuilding Wilcox & White Symphonia Organette
from Bob Arndt •I have finished rebuilding the Symphonia but I'm very sure that the valves (those activated when tracker bar holes are open) were not done well. I think that I "dished" them too much, so a valve can't collapse quickly enough to be ready for a repeat of the same note. Originally, one piece of 0.006"... |
