Elepian Player Piano
By D. L. Bullock

The Elepian pianos were sold in the early 1990s until they stopped
production.  They have one main problem: the pneumatics fall off --
usually poor glue.  The pneumatics were wood so no problem except
removing all the old glue from both surfaces.

Everything is just like a normal player except the source of the sound.
The keys move and everything and they are fun for a light movable
player piano that does not take a truck and two bruisers to move.

 [ My remarks, and the references (links) that I added in yesterday's
 [ 060712 MMDigest, relate to only the Elepian electric piano, not the
 [ Elepian player piano that John Tuttle asks about.  The maker of the
 [ roll-playing mechanism is not yet known.  I regret any confusion
 [ that may have resulted.  -- Robbie
