PIANOLA pre-1900 ROSEWOOD first "mechanical piano-player" BEFORE "player-pianos"

Description

This is a late 1800s ROSEWOOD "Aeolian" manufactured "pianola". It's in good condition but needs the bellows redone. There are 2 rolls with it. These were used to play pianos by those who could not. As the images demonstrate, this unit was rolled up to the keyboard, fastened to the piano, and then the person would PUMP the peddles on the underside of the device which would operate the keys to play songs that were controlled by the paper rolls. Fully restored, this would be a very stunning piece. Its measurements are: 38" tall, 44" wide, and 17" deep, it plays 65 notes (or keys), and is on its original wheels.
We're also listing a bunch of great billiard items including billiard trophies, and several, mostly pre-1900 cue racks.
