Below are all of the pictures and information I've collected about the "Soloelle" Expression System. This particular system is in a Hardman Peck & Co, Autotone piano. According to the Pierce Piano Altas, it appears that the piano was assigned its serial number in 1920. The serial number on the nametag also seems to correspond with that date. Currently, these pictures, and other information, are in no particular order. This will probably change as more information is gathered. If you have any information about this system or know where Soloelle rolls can be purchased, please contact me using 'this form'. Further research revealed that the Soloelle system isn't really a particular mechanism but rather a basic principle. The rights to use the principle sold to many different companies as shown in the listing below -click here. The principle is explained in the patent -click here. And, in the picture near the bottom of this page (click here), you can see how the design of the mechanism differs considerably from the one in the pictures just below.

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. |
