    Have a customer that wants an estimate to restore a pedal pump player upright to working condition.  I do modern PianoDisc installs but don't know anyone who restores the old systems.  I come from central Texas.

    You can contact me directly.

    Andrew,

     I don't know anyone in your area--doesn't mean there isn't someone--check with Player-care.com for a list of folks. But I can tell you to be ready for about $3,000 to $5,000 for a standard 88 note player, more if it is a reproducing player (Duo-Art - original, not 1970s, ampico, or Welte.).

    Hi Andrew,

    Justin Hopkins goes all over central and north Texas. Leon Speir has cut way back in recent years, so I've started directing all the player piano needs to Justin. Google Clare's Player Pianos and you'll find him.
