Dave Brown here; First I'd like to take a minute to thank all those
who have been so helpful in my desire to build a band organ, (THANKS).
Butttt, first projects first. My questions concerns a 1924(?) Bauer
Brothers baby grand Recordo action. After ordering all the info that
Player Piano Co. Inc. had on the Recordo, none of it matched. I need
help with the tubing schematic.
Description of the piano action is: Fish Pole tracking, double stack
with the valves and pouches built in. Also the expression box has one
large pneumatic with four progressively smaller pneumatics. Tracker
bar is the same layout as in some of the plans received.
Piano has had an earlier restoration, and the pneumatics seem to be
usable. My goal is to get the tubing straightened out to better assess
the condition of the action. None of the expression tubing to the
tracker bar is connected, and there are two switching valves (?)
disconnected in the drawer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Dave Brown
