FS: Player Piano Chest and Key Pneumatics
By Christine Lumbroso

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I have a piano that used to be a player piano.  It is a Haines Bros.,
New York, and was built in 1914.  It has been in my family since 1930,
but was gutted at some time of the player parts.  I recently had some
work done on it, and we removed a rather large piece that contains the
pneumatics for the individual keys.  This is the part that sits inside
right on top of the keys and under the hammers, running the full length
of the keys.

Would anyone be interested in this piece?  It looks to me like it is in
excellent condition.  I am in Oregon, and my phone number is (503)630-
2993 or (503)810-1843.
