Player Steinway

[John Hartman]

Dear List,

I need advise on restoring a Player mechanism. The Piano is a Steinway 
model L in a carved mahogany case and is scheduled for a complete 
rebuilding.  The player mechanism seems to be intact and the word Duo-Art 
is stenciled on the fall-board. The client has shown interest in 
restoring the player and I need help on what to advise them. I have no 
intention in doing the work myself and need the name of the most 
qualified player restorer to refer to my client. A few other questions I 
have are; is this worth doing, is the Duo-Art the better quality 
"reproducing" mechanism, can player roles be found that work and what 
kind of service problems will be encountered?

Sincerely,

John Hartman RPT
