FS: 73-key Tom Thumb Recordo Player Piano
By Bob Stewart
I would like to find a new home for a little Tom Thumb upright Recordo.
It has a few more keys than most of the Tom Thumb pianos I have seen.
It has 73 keys. It is the perfect size for a condo or apartment being
only 42" tall, 23" wide and 47" long. It was made by Kramer in New
York and is called "Baby Upright". It was factory painted black with
gold highlights. The case shows it's age in some places but is still
very presentable. The player has been repaired at various times over
its life but plays softly, or so it sounds in the shop. It could be
plenty loud enough in a condo environment.
These little Tom Thumb Recordos do not have a reservoir. It has a
2-tier Simplex stack and at some time would probably benefit from pouch
replacement and the new pneumatic covering required if replacing the
pouches. I think the stack was recovered in that period when the
pouches were still "good enough". This size player is light enough
and small enough to move in a small trailer or pickup. It is located
in Southwest Missouri. Pictures are available if interested. Priced
at $1,200.
