Aeolian Player Action Removal

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Patrick,
This pso came directly from the factory fully regulated and set up so that
no further service will be needed for the life of the instrument. Face the
hard fact that this instrument is now passed away and give it the final
rights that it has earned for it's service to the musical world.
I highly reccommend CREMATION.    With tongue sticking out the side of my
cheek.
