[BCMA] Player Piano Repair

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I had an aunt who had a Steinway grand player piano. She also had collections of rolls from great pianists of the last century. There are rubber parts that wear out in the piano, so she had to have hers repaired. (back in the 1970's). It was VERY expensive to have the repair.

Best wishes,
Peggy

He told me that there is apparently only one person in all of North America who still fabricates music for player pianos, a guy in Las Vegas, and presumably he can repair them too. But it may be the case that there are more people who can repair them.
