American Automatic Piano Company "Pianette"
By Scott Currier

I have a short YouTube video up of the Pianette where I am testing
the electrics for the first time.  I had my daughter's boyfriend,
an electrical engineer, help go through the relay, limit switches,
transformer and motor before the first run.  (I'm always striving
to give another person the automated instrument bug!  ;-)

I had the "Wedding March" disc in the machine, and his reaction as
the song starts playing is priceless!  (No, he did not know what
song I picked out for him to hear it play.)

I'm still looking for any advice out there for this odd little piano.
