Thank you very much! I didn't even know Kimball made a player organ until I started doing more research in the Electramatic piano I picked up last October. I'm enjoying this piano until I can acquire a classic upright but, what scares the heck out of me is the lack of repair parts for the electronic control system. I can easily fix anything in the pneumatics portion but, after that, I'm helpless.
Well, I'm sure with enough asking around the circuit of piano collectors and repair people that you could find most any part you needed. I recently located a set of player parts that I thought I'd never find for my player grand. Never fear! :)
It is an 88 note format instrument so regular player piano rolls will play depending on how well the arrangement sounds. Some rolls are just better suited for piano. Classical, waltzes, and ballads usually sound best. However, there are rolls that are specifically arranged to play on this instrument, such as the one demonstrated here.
I WANT ONE!! :-)

Sounds great! Does this play standard 88 key rolls or are they cut for organ?
