We just finished restoring our first Kranich & Bach player system.
Two words: Wow! and Why?  The end result is a marvelously pumping
player piano.

The quality of the piano is exceptional -- it must have been a very
expensive piano in it's day.  We still can't figure out the theory
behind the design of the "kiss valve".  Was it for a more rapid
escapement?
