For sale or trade: a large piano and roll collection, and other
mechanical music related items for _trade_ (or sell). Everything
must go! I am willing to trade all or part for something of equal
value, or sell.
There are at least 12,000 piano rolls. Mostly 88 note, but some
reproducing rolls and other formats. Part is 850+ of the series
of Play-Rite (most are new, never played).
4 pianos:
* 1907(?) A.B. Chase 6' 3" 65-/88-note foot impelled grand (played
and autographed by Hi Babit at the 2008 AMICA Convention);
* Tiger Oak Melville-Clark upright player ready to be restored
(pedal parts have been nickel plated);
* Stuyvesant 65/88 note player Metrostyle Themodist (unique fall
board that reveals the player controls) that needs restoration;
* Welte baby grand (was rebuilt years ago, but tubing not finished).
* Dynavoice keytop player(+ one almost complete parts unit, and one
chassis), player rebuilding supplies and parts, player piano literature
and books, several Piano-lodeon toy player pianos that need restoration,
New Ampico and Duo-Art Audiographic Series boxes, Cover papers to make
more Ampico boxes. Two Aeolian push-up players, and many other items.
I would like to rent or sell the house that everything is in, so I am
motivated to trade all or part for something (or sell if no trade can
be worked out). I prefer something automotive related, but am open to
most anything. Let me know what you have and we can talk!
