This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello, I forwarded the information and pics of the mini schulz player to Art = Reblitz, a personal friend. As some of you know Art is among the = world's authority on the restoration and history of players and other = mechanical music machines. He has published an impressive number of = papers, books and articles on the subject, (in addition to his famous = piano tech book). Art is a somewhat private individual and does not = openly share his e-mail, address, or phone number so I will not disclose = them. His brief response to the Schulz player is as follows: The player (Recordo?) in a Schulz grand doesn't surprise me, but the = 73-note scale is very rare. It probably has little collectors' value. Over the years I've seen one 65-note Aeolian upright made circa 1907, = which looked just like a little player piano, and a Columbus Boudoir = (sp?) piano---a perfectly proportioned upright player with a scale of = approx. 56 keys. The player had been removed.=20 A lot of things were tried, but few had great commercial success, = judging by how few remain. Best regards, Art Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
