Hi All, Primarily in response to John Neiswinger posting about
schematics for modern Kimball player pianos, I'd just like to remind
folks that Player-Care.com has the most extensive listing of available
player piano service manuals, technical reprints and diagrams on the
planet! I have all of the manuals offered by Schaff and Player Piano
Co., plus about a dozen others that they do not offer (which include
the six modern Kimball players).
The link to the page that lists all of the references is
https://www.buysecure.com/playercare/reprints.html This is a secure
web page, complete with order form and instructions.
For the modern Kimball players, please start at:
http://www.player-care.com/system55.html
I'd also like to report that the listings of player piano manufacturers
(foreign and domestic) continue to grow. At last count, over 930
manufacturers have now been identified. That constitutes about
a 20% increase over the past three years since the first listing was
published on the Internet (08-06-00). And, considering that the basic
listing had not changed significantly in the 30 years preceding the
Internet listing, I find the increase nothing less than outstanding.
Note: To help visitors determine which player system is in their
player piano, start at http://www.player-care.com/makers.html
Musically,
