Value of 58-note Push-up Player
By Ken Marts

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest.  I have recently restored an
Angelus reed organ/push-up piano player.  My customer asked me if
there was any way to find out what it's worth and I immediately
thought of you all.   It is a 58-note player, has 2 rows of reeds,
and comes in an oak cabinet.   Also, for it's entire life, it has
been mated with a beautiful matching oak upright.  Included in this
"set" are 100 rolls.

There are two things on this that are noteworthy.  The first is that
it has a 58-note wooden tracker bar instead of a 65-note.  The other
is it operates with "key pouches" instead of "key pneumatics".  This
ensemble has lived in the Pacific Northwest it's whole life and with
the same family.   Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
