330728 Seeburg Style L Coin Operated Cabinet Piano

The Seeburg L Cabinet Piano introduced in 1921 has 54 notes. Made by the J.P. Seeburg Co out of Rockferd  Ill.  It plays 10 songs on one roll. The songs are bar  Gershwin in style.  The sound amplification is very satisfactory out of this impecably restored nicklodeon. It takes just a ten cent coin to set it in motion!  It is a keybordless style player designed for bar rooms and entertainment halls . These were more elaborate then the early coin pianos. Post 1920 J.P. Seeburg Piano Company. With the beginning of Prohibition, the market for large orchestrions was almost non-existent. That promted J.P Seeberg to design a Style L that was smaller and in a descreet cabinet. The cabinet has two 12 inch by 12 inch panels of stained glass in them to make it appear as though it were a piece of furniture.


Cabinet coin operated Nickleodeons specs are as follows:  the lowest bass note is the third B below middle C, equal to note 15 in an 88-note piano.  The highest treble note is the third E above middle C, equal to note 68 in an 88-note piano.  The pitch standard is A=435 Hz.

With eleven wrapped two-string bass unisons playing from low B up to A, the lowest plain string on the long bridge is the second A# below middle C (note 26 in an 88-note piano).

The Seeburg L plays 65-hole style "A" rolls  These rolls play 58 notes, from C through A (notes 16 through 73 in an 88-note piano).  Although the lowest note in an "A" roll is C and the lowest note in a Seeburg L is B, the L does not transpose, but is tubed to play at concert pitch.  The rerun on the piano works.

The A-roll has 10 songs on it. The refurbished cabinet piano is absolutely beautiful. Stained glass windows have been refurbished also. The cabinet piano has been brought back to its original beauty.

The dimensions are 36 1/2" x 35 1/4" x 22 3/4". The stain glass pictures are 12" x 12".
