Player Piano. "Like a beautiful lady, she need make no
sound, yet all eyes are hers ... " Yes, the "Goddess of
Music" is a genuine player piano, known to many as an
automated "Nickelodeon" or "Orchestrion." This mag-

hand-carved cherry wood. Measures 49" x 44-1/2". stool, for maybe it is not empty after all ...
