  • Damn! That needs to be tuned! Otherwise, nce narration. I still can't understand how the air blowing through the roll makes the key sound...

  • I can't explain it. The hole that lets the air through is the note that plays.

  • lovely condition! i think maybe it needs to be tuned some time soon :-)

  • Yes it will need to be tuned as it hasn't been in over 12 years.

  • @Ikaruszaki The air doesn't blow thru the roll- it "sucks" the air in and then- it's too long to explain.

  • @muzzlefartface johnny b good i think

  • Currently perforating a song. Making a roll just like you.

  • What song is that?

  • my grandmas rerolls automaticaly! You don't have to push the switch to reroll.

  • I work at a shop for a guy who rebuilds these player systems, and they work off a vaccuum, not air blowing through, but rather, being pulled out of the bellows.

  • @gregoryagogo Yes, you can hear these two notes played twice, so the mechanism is broken.

  • Man that piano is worn out

    Check those hammer heads out they are flat

  • Come and make mine that beautiful!
