1914 Steinway Player Pianola Restoration

A Night at the Museum
​Bradley and Leila Barnes purchased this Steinway Player Pianola for $1250 in 1914.  Over the years the Museum has kept the piano tuned and in wonderful condition, however the player portion is in need of restoration.  Your donation will aid the Museum in restoring the pianola to its original state so it can be played during daily tours for all to enjoy.
