This piano is a nice, original Aeolian foot-pumped player piano with a nice oak cabinet.  It is currently stored in our shop slated for complete restoration (or conversion to an A or O roll coin operated player).  Besides the player mechanism, we are also rebuilding the action, including but not limited to new hammers, hammerbutts, shanks, rebuilt damper levers, rebuilt wippens, new keybed felt, new keybushings.  It will also be restrung and any necessary soundboard and bridge repairs performed at that time.  It is also being stripped and refinished, so at this point you have the option of specifying satin or polish, and letting us know how dark or light you want the finish.  We can custom match most finishes.  We have references available and will provide them on request.  A matching bench is included, as is ground floor delivery within 300 miles of Texarkana.  Why pay for a cookie-cutter, imported piano (yes, we do sell them too!) when you can have a nice, professionally restored prewar player piano?  Payment terms:  Half at close of auction, balance at completion and approval, prior to delivery.  Serious prospects email me and I will provide contact info for references.

Included in the purchase price is complete restoration and refinishing of the piano and one of the following three options:  a) restoration of the original 88 note foot pumped player mechanism or b) conversion to a coin operated A roll player with mandolin rail or c) conversion to a coin operated O roll player with mandolin rail, bass (w/timpani effect) and snare drums, tambourine, wood block, triangle and cymbal.

Personal inspection is welcomed.  If you happen to fly in to Texarkana, give us a little advance notice and we'll pick you up.  Certainly feel free to contact an independent local tech for an appraisal and let us know if you would like additional photos.
