Player pianos like … Player pianos like this might not still be made, but Nickelodeons are. MondoBeno is right, the phonograph made pianola’s obsolete. There were still many pianola’s sold from the 1900’s-1920’s. The nickelodeons and orchestrions wouldn’t become obsolete until the jukebox became a widespread item. If anything, the phonograph did a lot.
There are a lot of … There are a lot of comments about tuning here, but personally, I like it just the way it is! No one really had a perfectly tuned piano at home either. This sound literally comes right out of my great grandmother’s living room and a 1920 unit much like this, as I recall it. I last visited there in 1960. Could you put up some more songs? This just sounds fabulous! Hearing even this little piece made it a different day, for me at least!
My grandparents … My grandparents have a player piano but the bellows wore out. I hope they don’t get rid of it. I would love to have it but our house is even smaller. When my aunt and uncle cleaned out their attic they found the guts of another piano up there, covered in dust. And a couple boxes of rolls.
the problem is in … the problem is in order to tune it he would have to get a bucket of water and leave it in the piano for awhile to get moisture back in the wood so that when he did tune it the whole thing wouldent break on him
The piano hasn’t … The piano hasn’t been tuned in years and getting it tuned isn’t high on the priority list. The cost of tuning is almost as much as the thing is worth.
