Player Piano Complete!

On August 24, 2016, at 1:55 P.M., my player piano finally played for the first time in 30 years.

Some pictures of the "new" Aeolian stack which I retrofitted, inside the piano:












Three videos of the event; the third one is "The Band Played On," with the piano tuned somewhat better than it had been at first.


















Thanks to Matthias Beachy of Partridge, KS, for donating the "new" player action and parts, and thank you to the Prairie Rose Chuckwagon, Benton, KS, for providing the piano itself. Thanks also to Mark Myers, Lindsay, OK, Deborah and Abigail Myers, Whitewater, KS, David Anderson and Mike Hanchett (Mike's Piano Service) of Newton, KS, Jeffrey Wood, Wilbraham, MI, Doug Bullock, St Louis, MO, David Dewey, CA, and numerous others who contributed in some way or another. Thank you so much!
