Player Piano Basics

[Richard Moody]

Mastertone is listed in Pierce as "Style used by Gulbransen"  There at least  300
places where air can leak in a player piano.  The hoses, tubing and pneumatic cloth
will all have to be replaced if this has not been done. This should be referred to a
specialist, especially if Gulbransen.
