Deep Inside the Autopiano



The Autopiano at my parents' house has been a staple in the home for 15 years. It was passed on to us by family friends. They had the piano for at least another 40 years. Originally it was a player piano, having the capability to automatically play songs from a script. That feature was taken out long before we came to own the beast.
Now, the piano is used mostly by me to learn, play and hopefully record. The keys are beat down and it takes a lot of muscle to get quality sound out of it. There are a couple of dead keys, a broken string and a very faded look to the keyboard itself.
The top left photo is from the top lid of the beast. As you can see, royalty approves.
