I have a 1920 Kimball Upright Greek Revival Player Piano.

It was my grandfather's. My kids will begin taking lessons on it next year.

I have to have the vacuum system repaired in order for it to play itself, but its fine for them to learn on.

The one we looked at last night was built in the late 40’s. Other than one key that didnt work and badly needing to be tuned, the piano seemed fine to me. And the kids were in awe since it was the first time they saw a piano play itself.

Theres no way I am getting a yamaha player right now. Especially without knowing that the kids will stick with wanting to play. Im looking to spend about 1k tops right now. Now if they stick with it, sure I’d have no problem buying a nicer piano. Itd sure as hell be cheaper than what we pay for two girls in gymnastics thats for sure.

There was one just like that in my grandmom's house. Two full closets full of paper rolls. Don't know what ever happen to it.
