I think I played one of these in the music room at the Mission Inn, Riverside in the late 40's. At that time it seemed in pretty good condition.

The Inn also featured a pipe organ in a larger hall.

It was considered bad taste if you didn't play "When you come to the end of a perfect day" by Carrie Jacobs Bond when you sat down at either instrument.
