Free player piano
For someone who's handy, curious, and has patience and time, this player piano offers a great opportunity for the mechanically minded and curious to bring back to life a fascinating piece of technology from yesteryear.
To use technical terms, these pianos are really really cool.
It also comes with about 30 rolls of music.
A little background. I got this for free from someone just after Covid hit. I only had to pay the movers.
I thought it'd be an excellent and challenging project to occupy myself and my preteen during those strange times.
Indeed it is an excellent and challenging project, but it was a little overly ambitious, especially from a time commitment standpoint.
I would gladly share correspondence that I had with one of the experts on restoring these pianos, an extremely knowledgeable and patient and passionate restorer.
And if you're local and you get it running, I would love to come over and see it work.
So, if you are patient, curious, mechanically minded, and just a little passionately impractical (in the absolute best sense of the words 😉) this is a great project.
The only cost would be to pay to move it.
It is not light.
If interested, please let me know and I will send some pictures and answer any further questions.
Robert.
