Introduction & My Player Piano
By Luke Myers

Good evening,  Just a little bit about myself and my piano.  My name
is Luke Myers, I live in Whitewater, Kansas.  My Uncle Mark, in
Dallas, used to have a player piano, and we loved to hear it play.
Unfortunately, he had to sell the piano when he relocated to a new
neighborhood several years back.

I am a big fan of the pneumatic players and I am currently rebuilding
a 1910 Werner Auto-Player that a friendly couple donated to my family.
The current issues with it are the pump unit and the wind motor.
My brother purchased a foot pump in better condition (at least I'm
fairly sure) than the one my piano currently has.  It should get to me
by next Monday.

A fellow MMDer sent me a very informative email when I asked about a
replacement wind motor.  He said he would be more than happy to supply
the needed materials, for free.

I will appreciate any and all responses.  I absolutely love roll-player
pianos.  I am in a Manufacturing Engineering Technology program at our
local college and I enjoy it a lot.
