Hi again.  Not all my message came through.
 
  My association with my buddy's player piano began with a phone call like this: "Hey Bruce, old pal, do you want to help me move something?"  From the tone of his voice I knew exactly what was to be moved.

  Wow!  Das' a whole lotta keys at once!
  I love those old player pianos. They were one of the modern mechanical wonders back at the turn of the 20th century.
 
  A friend of mine got one for free, along with plenty of rolls.  It is a pump version, and never was converted to electric.

Imagine the db's in the room! It fades in and out of sync long before the half way point.
