Pianola - free to a good home

Free to good home

 

Pianola music roll mechanical piano (you pedal it!) plus about 6 piano rolls.

 

It works but I haven't played in in a long time and it's now in the way.

 

It is large - 5ft wide, 4.5ft high and 2.25ft deep. And it is VERY heavy - you would need 4 or 5 strong people and a van to shift it.

Hi there - I'd begun to think no-one wanted it.

 

It really does need 4 or 5 strong men to carry it from the house without damage

and at least a medium size van.

 

I think you should come to see it first if you live close enough to Hunter' Bar??

I think its condition is very good - I haven't played it for ages but I will make sure it's working for you to hear - I have a few music rolls with it. Why not ring me and fix a time to see it before you organise the van? (I sent phone number in a PM just now did you get it?) I can be around during day or the evening.

Just a tip on moving this.

We have done a few over the years.

It is not like a piano, a piano weighs approx 200/250 kg but a pianola weighs 300/350 kg.

It wil need 4 men to move it safely one on each corner.

I would suggest a ramp or tail lift on the vehicle that your moving it in and some sort of piano wheels to get it out off the house and to the lorry without damage either to yourselves or the property.

Any other advise give me a ring

Hope this helps
