Vintage 1906 Story & Clark Player Piano Orchestrion – Very Exotic Veneers
I am pleased to present this wonderful 1906 Story & Clark Player Piano Orchestrion. This piano started out life as a “normal” piano until it was converted to an orchestrion player piano by well known expert Ragtime Automated Music of Ceres, CA. Be sure to take note of the stained glass panel on the front of the piano.
This professional conversion includes the optional “expression.” Expression is the ability for the piano to play with differences in volume and tone to allow the song to be played more realistically and not mono-toned.
This player piano has had the following instruments added to it:
– Bass Drum
– Snare Drum
– Mandolin Rail
– Tambourine
– Triangle
– Wood Block
– Cymbal
The piano uses “0” rolls to generate it’s music. Each O roll contains approx. 12 songs. Owner will include 1 “O” roll with the purchase and others may be purchased separately.
Many piano experts have seen this piano and most comment on the very exotic veneers. As of this moment, the owner does not know what type of wood was used on the piano but he believes that it could be quilted maple. Without exception, the wood used on this piano is absolutely traffic stopping and gorgeous.
