There are so many interesting pianos and player pianos and miscellaneous life accessories in the piano shop. Mr. Davis didn’t need any of this at his house, and if you ask me, I’m blaming his wife. Smart lady. Very smart lady. Let me just show you a few of these musical treats:
A man and his wife’s American dream.
This is the Apollo Player Piano.
The ol’ Arkla Servell. It worked when they stopped using it in ’59.
The ol’ mid 1800’s square grand. Rosewood. So pretty.
This is a piano player. You put it on your piano, and it plays for you! You can cancel those lessons!!
Just missing one leg!
The world’s first drum machine!
This attaches to your piano and pumps an electric bass line. With amp.
Lord knows I’m never gonna use this thing.
The piano/organ combo. For the indecisive church musician.
Something pink for the ladeez??
Here we go! Your mother-in-law wants this.
A Missionary Organ. Have you considered this calling?
Organs Organs Organs! I’m an organ donor!
Here are the clay drain pipes we pulled out of the building. Art project anyone?
This is a player piano, although I don’t see how anyone could play it.
This piano has nice woodwork? Your new iMac would look great in here….
Pullman collector? Your lucky day!!!!
This was the first pump organ Joe Davis ever fixed. Or didn’t. You judge.
Wheat free rolls!!!
Rolls! More Rolls! And such a pretty cabinet.
Although hard to tell here, this is the console to a pipe organ.
Just bought this on Boxing Day, stood in line all night.
Under blanket #2 is a Wurlitzer grand player piano!!!
So, as you can see, there is no shortage of “interesting” things to look at.
