A player piano is a work of art. It also gives hours and hours of
music to us flatlanders who cannot play at all. It also has a real acoustic
sound, which is not yet perfected in electronics. Do beware though of
thinking you have a long term collector in a player. They may get
you a nice profit if you sell them right after restoration, but let them
sit, and they deteriorate again and destroy your investment.
We tell you the truth here.

identify the sticker in a piano action. The sticker is part # 12 on that page.

   Mute above. But, we cannot alter the original kit to reduce the price.
   This kit will require some detailed fitting of the leather and tabs which you will
   be required to attach. It cannot be made ahead of time to fit any piano at random
   because the string placement of all pianos varies from piano to piano. If you are
   not an intuitive person, or if you do not have a friend with mechanical talents,
   you should not try this. We CANNOT promise you success unless you are willing
   to take responsibility for your success. We will not refund your money if you
   in any way start to modify the kit parts. Having made this rather ominous disclaimer,
   I must say that the kit is very well planned, and, as far as I know, this is the only kit
   of its kind available at this time. It was designed by a man with 50 years in the trade.

Do-It-Youself Rinky Tink or Mandolin Kit-- THIS IS A CONVERSION KIT
   You MUST already have a practice mute in your piano to use this kit.
   Also, you will have to innovate and make the products work for you. I cannot
   write instuctions which will cover anything you will run into. This means you will
   need to determine where the strings are in relation to the leather strip AFTER you
   install the leather strip. You may do this by attaching carbon paper to the back of
   the leather strip facing the leather and run the front of the leather with a hard object.
   Remove the carbon paper, and cut between the marks made by the strings on the
   leather. You may also rub the strings with chalk and rub the front of the leather.
   This will tell you where to cut the leather strip. You must have the confidence to
   innovate because I cannot predict all the variables you may encounter. Be sure to
   clamp the metal tabs so that they are in a straight line, and position the mute bar so that
   the tabs are just barely BELOW the actual point the hammer hits the strings. This will
   prevent destruction of the hammers over time.

   3 inch by 48 inch leather strip and 100 metal tabs to attach to the strip.
   Instructions included which can be adapted to this conversion process.
