      Dearest Mrs Wife, for reasons she alone comprehends, bought a piano. No one plays, but she's decided that she wants one. So the piano was bought and we collected it yesterday with the help of a very clever piano moving man. But no, it is not a piano, it is a pianola - a self playing piano. The sellers did not know it was a pianola and once we got it home we found, inside the case, two dozen rolls of music. The mechanism doesn't seem to work, but it may just be that I don't know hos it is supposed to operate. Brute force and ignorance will not suffice. So now I need to find someone who can help me work out how the elephant this thing works. I think it will be quite fun to get the mechanism sorted out and serviced. In the mean time, it's back to 20 Tunes for Little Hands for me.

      I have seen pianolas played by the feet pumping the pedals.

            Where's your engineering mind gone. I'd love to fix something like that, ignorant or not.

                        the brother in law has one, that too didn't work but it turned out to be a perished bellows, that would be the first thing Id check (second in your case after the supply of gin)

                        You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                          I've heard pianos that sounded like they were being played by foot.
