Antique Pianola
A pianola is a type of self-playing piano that uses a pneumatic or electro-mechanical mechanism to operate the piano action via programmed music recorded on perforated paper or metallic rolls 1. The term ?pianola? was originally the registered trade-name for the “player pianos” made by the New York-based Aeolian Company, but it became the generic term for any mechanically-operated piano that used piano rolls 2. Pianolas were wildly popular from about 1900-1930 2. Today, pianolas are still used in some places, such as in the background music of restaurants and cafes
