Wilcox & White Recording Piano
By Dave Krall

Here is a photo of pianist Gottfried Galston at the Wilcox & White
recording piano (in the original recording studio on the top floor
of the Wilcox & White factory in Meriden, Connecticut) which was
used to record the Artrio Angelus and Artrio Voltem rolls.

Can anyone identify the make of piano based on the architectural
elements of the case?  I am guessing the piano itself dates from around
1910.  From this picture it appears that the piano was of fairly decent
size, perhaps close to 7'?  Wilcox & White player mechanisms were
installed in Janssen, Bradbury, Emerson and Knabe (and perhaps other)
pianos.
