Wellsmore & Co. Player Piano
By Bob Ricco

Hello all,  I have recently acquired two 88-note player pianos.  The
first is a Wellsmore & Co. (New York) Serial # 20011.  The case has
been stripped but not refinished.  The player action is unknown but
is neither a Simplex nor a Standard.  It has a dual vertical pneumatic
tracker and a five vertical pneumatic motor.

The second is a C. Kurtzmann & Co. (Buffalo, NY) Serial # 83199.  The
case has been stripped and refinished with an oil finish.  The player
action is a Standard.

I am planning to restore and sell one of these instruments and convert
the other one to play O-rolls and would like the opinion of the group
before deciding which way to go with this project.  Thanks to all
in advance.

Regards,

Bob Ricco
Wyomissing Hills, PA
