FINALLY! A treasury of the complete art of pneumatics, using the orchestrion as the complete model. New, solid, powerful, and vastly superior designs, all meticulously explained and described during the actual construction by the author. Not a glossed-over and fanciful treatise after the fact.

This is a beautiful book you will be proud to own and the only one of its kind. A must-have reference handbook for every builder, student, or afficionado of pneumatic automata. A How-To/ How Not To Bible of information. You'll love it!

Four and a half years in the making from a professional builder/rebuilder and former design engineer, the art of pneumatics comes to life for you in a way that few can describe it. The one and only book that unlocks the real secrets of the art. Find out what you have a right to expect from good pneumatic design, and give the breath of a long life to live music.

Sixteen Chapters, 11 Appendices, fully indexed, with numberous pixtures and 163 drawings, 238 pages.

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message.
