SCHUMANN

Single-valve action. Horizontal valve with aluminum stem. Pneumatic motor is a six-point unit with all six pneumatics facing 'up'. A certain identifying feature of this unit is the motor governor which is located on TOP of the pnuematic stack at the LEFT SIDE. Both halves of the lower bellows system can be disconnected from the other and swung forward.

Update June 5, 2020. We have just come into possession of a fair amount of information and pictures of the player system found in the Schumann player piano. More information will be added as time permits. Below are the patents we've located. Click on the link to see the patents.

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.
