Here at Player-Care, we not only sell QRS Music Rolls and promote Player Piano Technicians, we also enjoy telling the world about Player Piano Enthusiasts, like Gabriel Della Fave, from South Amboy, NJ. Over the past year and a half, Gabes' 1925 Lexington Super Simplex player piano, lovingly known as "Mabel", has gone through a series of renovations including the total restoration of the player mechanism and the replacement of all the major piano action parts. As a result, 'Mabel' is perhaps the best Super Simplex on the East Coast. 'Her' repetitive ability is almost unimaginable. Recently, George Bogatko wrote an extremely challenging music roll (Improvisation #2) to test the performance of 88-note player pianos and Mabel played the piece flawlessly. Gabe loves to share the music that comes out of Mabel. So he created a website just for her. Many of his favorite tunes can be heard at the website in either RealAudio or MP3 formats.... for free! As the Ring Manager for the Player Piano Ring, Gabe has spent many hours reviewing many of the player-piano related websites in the PPR, which was initiated in September of 1998 to help player piano enthusiasts find other sites related to player pianos. For an afternoon or evening of pure enjoyment, I encourage you to visit "Gabe's Player Piano Page". Click right HERE to visit the site now. |
