Question
- Which piano has 4 strings per note? Steinway, Bechstein, Blüthner or Baldwin? The answer is Blüthner Pianos come with four strings per note rather than the standard three strings per note that you find on most pianos. The fourth string sits up higher than the other three which allows it to ring symphonically with the other three.

Hello,
I am trying to find out about a player piano that I could be interested in purchasing.This is the info I got from the owner... Pratt Read Player action company
Pneumatic Player Action
Deep River Conn.
model:11
scale: 236
style: 72
serial: 63961
She says it plays in honky tonk and regular...
I am not very knowledgeable about pianos but I have always wanted a player piano. I am not familiar with this make of piano...is it any good? can you figure out what year it was made by the serial number and what does the scale number mean and also what does she mean by playing in honky tonk and regular?
If this is a decent make of player piano..will get someone with knowledge to check it out mechanically as she says they have not used the player part in 15 years, but used the piano itself in their livingroom for years.
Thank you for helping,
Monique

Hi Monique
The detail you are concerned about are secondary. Your primary concern should be simply to get a qualified "player man" out there to look at the piano. By player man I refer to a piano technician who also is experience at restoring old player piano mechanisms. He should also check the overall mechanical and structural condition of the actual piano, above and beyond the player mechanism.
I hope this helped..feel free to ask further questions.
