FS: Price & Teeple Player in Philadelphia
By Larry Toto
There is a Schaeffer Symphonol'a Upright with a Price & Teeple player
for sale in the area just north of Philadelphia (Fairless Hills, PA).
It was advertised in the Philadelphia Inquirer for a few days. It
looks to me like it is in unrestored condition. All tubing is brittle.
The finish is severely checkered. There is one chip on one keytop.
The bottom-most 15 notes sound muddy.
This might make a good project for someone. The owners were saying
"make an offer". I can't take on another project. It comes with 117
rolls, a dozen or so without boxes.
Please email me if you are interested. I have no personal interest in
the transaction (financial or otherwise). This thing may end up on a
trash heap like so many other players. The owner says he took a sledge
hammer to his father's piano many years ago, thinking it was worthless.
His father flipped out.
