Player Pianos

Pneumatic Player Pianos

I have restored hundreds of paper roll player pianos, including Aeolian, Gulbransen, Ampico, Duo Art, Simplex, Standard, Wurlitzer, Welte (European and American), and many others.

Pianomation

I have installed many QRS Pianomation player systems in customers' upright and grand pianos. Most pianos can be fitted with a Pianomation player system.
