I am trying to help a French customer who has a player piano
with the name Gustin Wright. The piano has lost most of its small
top-to-bottom tubing, so we are struggling to identify some of the
connections. He has provided many photos, but I have been unable
to identify the player action.
The bottom action has two reservoirs, one for each side of the
(assumed) split stack, with what appears to be a Themodist-type
expression box in the middle. The two reservoirs seem to have
significantly different spring strengths, one being an internal coil
spring. The 3-tier stack has metal tubes (painted black), and steel
fabricated fingers on the pneumatics, and probably double valves.
Player-Care.com mentions Wright, suggesting they made their own
actions (but it might not be the same "Wright"), but with no detail.
Has anyone come across this make before and would be prepared to
communicate and help solve some of our problems?
