Well my musical ability is pathetic, but last year we re-inherited a 100 year old pianola that had been in the family since new. It was stuffed. I revitalised the action (using instruction books) and am now working on the pneumatics. Beautiful tone and I am teaching myself to play. I made such a racket on the pianola that teenage son complained and I now teach myself on a specially purchased keyboard with earphones. I have got nearly up to grade 1 AND AM PLAYING SUCH WONDROUS PIECES AS Alouette, Little brown jug, Home on the Range and my latest challenge, The Entertainer
Probably just as well I use the earphones, or all the dogs in the neighbourhood would start howling
Miond you, when nobody is about, I belt out the tunes on the pianola
