Stuyvesant Player Piano
By Gregory Filardo

I remember a friend telling me about a Stuyvesant player piano that
was in a ballroom of an old mansion in Indianapolis.  He told me that
it was stuck in the stairway and abandoned.  Since the house was about
to be bulldozed he asked me about removing the components, which he
did.  Later he said that they were not of much help since it was an
early Aeolian 65-note player.

I got a chance to see the piano a week later and it was a wonderful
Mission oak art case upright -- hopelessly jammed halfway down the
staircase -- but was one of the nicest player pianos that I have seen.
