How can you electrify a Player Piano?
A centrifugal electric blower is installed in the lower portion of the piano cabinet. Attached to the player action, it creates the same vacuum to operate the player that you do when you pump the pedals with your feet. The blowers installed by Rechel Piano Company, incorporate a volume control, a rewind speed reduction, and a one way valve to allow the piano to still be pumped by foot. Pumping it by foot was the original way to power a player piano.
