Duo-Art Piano at Forstmann Castle in Catskills
By Ed Chaban
Long before I became enamored with mechanical music, I was fortunate
enough to attend summer camp and eventually enter the CIT (Counselor
In Training) program at Frost Valley YMCA in the Catskills of New York.
I had long known that there was a player grand piano in the Forstmann
Castle around which the YMCA summer camp had been constructed. Can
anyone identify this piano in the photo?
I'm guessing it's a Duo-Art. Is it a Steinway or Weber? It appears to
have been well preserved. I see what appear to be broken tubes. I'm
guessing the player is not working:
