Steck Pianola With Reproducing Action
By Jeffrey R. Wood

This Steck Pianola Piano most definitely has a Duo-Art tracker bar,
which could have been installed fairly recently to replace an original
65-note tracker bar!  It is absolutely essential to find out how many
notes the Pianola action actually plays.  Steck had a factory in Gotha,
Germany, which is very likely where this instrument was made.

On the original American Duo-Art installations which began in 1912,
"Duo-Art Pianola" replaces "Pianola Piano" on the fall board.
