All Autopiano actions were three-tier, and with horizontal secondary valves. The renowned double-hole tracking system was always used, as it was in "Standard" actions (see System 1). The distinguishing feature between Standard and Autopiano was that in the Autopiano the tracking pneumatics were always in a vertical position, whereas on the Standard they were horizontal and not separated by the valve box. The tracker bars of both had two adjacent staggered holes to "read" both edges of the paper. Tracking systems of other player actions, with the one exception of some Kimball actions, did not have the double holes and so with that exception, it would narrow it down to either Autopiano or Standard. Pictured below is the Autopiano action. For more information about the Standard Player Action Company, the Autopiano Co, and the Auto Pneumatic Action Co., click here. Autopiano also had a Deluxe system, which is further explained here. |

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. |
