Modernly Made Nickelodeons and Player Pianos
By Damon Atchison

I know that QRS and Story and Clark make player pianos new.  I know that
these pianos have electric motors and only 74 self-playing notes.  I
don't know if they have plastic valves though.

I also heard about a man in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA who makes modern
Nickelodeons.  I wondered if he uses the same cheap valves and bad
workmanship as Story and Clark, or if his are _authentic_ reproductions
and pneumatically run.  I know that Story and Clark and QRS are currently
making many disk run Nickelodeons now.  Sorry I have no names for this
man, but I heard about him from the local piano dealer.
