Hupfeld 88-note Claviola
By Brenton Jenkins

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

Hello all,  I have an 88-note Hupfeld Claviola installed in a 1920s
Rönisch.  This unit was taken out of the piano and partly dismantled
over 50 years ago and never finished.  This player unit has individual
pressed iron valve units that are held onto the vacuum rail by springs.

Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me with the history
of this unit and maybe its reliability as a player?  I am able to post
pictures if anyone would like to see.  Thanks.

Brenton Jenkins
