Player Pianos
While we have certainly performed numerous player piano restorations in the past, our focus has become the manufacture and distribution of parts for pianos and player pianos.
Interested in restoring your own player mechanism? Great! We can help. Need a player? Look below. Get a copy of the book "Player Piano Servicing and Rebuilding" by Arthur Reblitz, readily available on Amazon or eBay. We designed and currently build our own series of suction boxes, available in our eBay store. Many parts for player pianos (and "regular" pianos) are also available in our eBay store.
There are also groups on the internet:
