FS Free: Francis Bacon Player Piano in Maryland
By Daniel Keating

We have a Francis Bacon player piano available. It belonged to our
mother. It worked and then worked sporadically. The only local repair
person was not familiar so it was not fixed.

It is Francis Bacon, serial number 189381, which is a much lower number
than I have been able to find in any reference to Francis Bacon serial
numbers, so I do not know its age. It has not been tuned recently, but
it has been gently cared for.

It was made as a player piano for foot pump pedals, but it subsequently
had an electric motor attached so it can be foot pumped or run with the
electric motor. The entire body is intact. No damage. Located in Silver
Spring, Maryland.
