Rebuilding a Player Piano
By Jim Kenney

I want to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who has responded
to my posting.  The book I am using the most is the Art Reblitz book;
it is very helpful and written in a way that you don't get confused.
I also have a copy of Larry Givens' book, which is a little confusing.

I also have a copy of a book, called "Piano Playing Mechanisms", written
by William Braid White.  It was written in 1925 and is more confusing
than the Givens book.

The most helpful tool I have while doing this is the people who have
sent me E-mail with helpful hints that they have learned from their
rebuilding.  The main thing is that the work is done right but more
importantly, with the right materials.
