Aeolian Pianola wedding of the painted doll

My other Aeolian pianola at the rural life centre tilford. Made in 1926 and still on its original valves and coverings. Only the tubing replaced. I know its not perfect and it has just developed a squeak on the bellows but is still operational 83 years on. Full restoration is planned for early next year. The song is wedding of the painted doll on a qrs roll.

Thanks. It is the rural life centre in Surrey. Might see you there then! Let me know how your restoration gets on.

This sounds like an International roll. You have it set at the perfect speed. Great job, mate.

I am going to learn my Mom's piano arrangement of this to play it for her on her 95th birthday in September. She has not played it in over 35 years but when I was little she played it all the time. I think her arrangement is a bit different than this one but I need to find the sheet music first.

This is a great piece and hearing it on a player piano is a treat. Thanks!
