A curious but interesting piano appeared on eBay. It appears to
be children's size [61 keys], but is an actual electric player.
The seller lists it as an expression piano, but declares it not to be
Duo-Art, Ampico nor Welte. I believe Ben & Mary Lilien had a similar
piano (or this might be their instrument). It would be fun to explore
the system to try to identify the extra ports on the tracker bar.
