Bell Push up piano player

Post by DanOz1973 »

Gday all

Ive just aquired a BELL push up player and after searching the Web , can find nothing about it.I have heard of Bells pianos and players before (seen pics ect) but cant find anything on the Bell Push up player.At present its not working and will need a full restoration , and also replacement pedals.

Has anyone here ever seen a Bell pushup or know much about them?

Many thanks Daniel :)

Sorry, we have lots of bits and pieces about Piano Players, but not by Bell. It would be interesting to see photos.

You could try asking on one of the US player piano forums.

What breed of push-up was the one which played the Grieg A minor at the last night of the Proms in 1988?
