It plays away in the Golden Horseshoe when there isn't a show going on. It's tucked in the corner and not terribly loud, but it certainly adds to the atmosphere!C33https://www.blogger.com/profile/12890348480661125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-40761691114597944282010-06-16T16:18:53.135-07:002010-06-16T16:18:53.135-07:00AWESOME!!!!AWESOME!!!!rivamontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236393028469289646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-64026902494152136122010-06-15T17:26:44.275-07:002010-06-15T17:26:44.275-07:00Great!

Gershwin used to perform his own music for piano rolls, I'd love to get copies of those (wonder if there are modern copies?). <br /><br />My great aunt had a player piano in her home, and as kids we loved to play with it. That's where I learned the song "Yes, We Have No Bananas"!!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-5378711388722202302010-06-12T07:54:55.045-07:002010-06-12T07:54:55.045-07:00Awesome news!

We had a player piano briefly when I was a kid, the kind you had to pump with your foot - man it was a chore but well worth the effort. <br /><br />I remember seeing the piano in Bear Country, never knew that was THE wonderland music piano! They better still have it!<br /><br />Thanks and congratulations Kevin!Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-17333513601552935412010-06-11T19:17:02.923-07:002010-06-11T19:17:02.923-07:00What an excellent addition to your home, may the h...What an excellent addition to your home, may the having be as pleasant as the wanting.<br /><br />Are you getting an old fashioned pneumatic type or a computer controlled modern one? If you do have the old type that plays rollers, resist the temptation to play old rolls. Sometimes fragments of paper break off and get sucked into the mechanism, causing all kinds of *expensive problems*.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-32973094394071161162010-06-11T16:35:02.630-07:002010-06-11T16:35:02.630-07:00Very cool!

Oh, for a Disneyland that sold things as obscure and bizarre as player piano rolls.<br /><br />Congrats on the player piano.
