Player Piano at Thrift Store
By Dave Haibach

Hi Jody and all,  It looks just like my 1925 600P but I am sure it
is earlier and not a Duo-Art.  If I refinished my case it would like
exactly like that also.

The tracker bar is really amazing -- one set of holes looks like
a standard Aeolian 88-note tracker, but God only knows what the other
set is or was.  The case has a new stencil on the refinished wood.
Other than that, though, it looks like a 88-note 600P, including the
tracking ears and all.  A peek into the bottom of the piano might
give more clues.

It cannot be in great shape by the looks of that huge "helper" spring
on the tracking pneumatic.  Just my $.02.

Regards,

Dave Haibach
