Size
:  60” wide  by  54 “ high by   28 “ deep  135 Cylinders
Condition:
As of last year,  this Player Piano was in perfect condition, except needing a tune up. The player Piano had a great sound. The ivories and wood are in   excellent shape. Then a few months ago we visited where it has been for quite some time and noticed unfortunately that the back had split inside, in what i think is called ” a sound board”, probably due to no climate control in  home. If in perfect condition the Piano would have a value of over ,500.  It could be that the back can be glued.
See Photos. I think the issue is  that
where the wood pieces are joined together, possible from the drying of the  wood  or  the glue used to hold the wood together, that the board  has apparently  cracked along the grain of the wood between seams.
History of the Piano Manufacturer
Cable-Nelson Piano Co. was established in Chicago, Illinois when Fayette S. Cable, brother of H.D. Cable (of the Cable Piano Co.) and Hobart M. Cable (of the Hobart M. Cable Piano Co.) purchased the Lakeside Piano Co. and Sweetland Piano Co. to form the Fayette S. Cable Piano Co. H.P. Nelson joined the organization in 1905, and the name changed to Cable-Nelson. Cable-Nelson made pianos under the names: Cable-Nelson, Fayette S. Cable, Lakeside, Boller, Sweetland, Radcliffe, and the Dulcitone player piano. In the late 1920s the firm was taken over by the Everett Piano Co. and pianos were manufactured in South Haven, Michigan. In 1954 the Hammond Organ Co. bought the Everett Piano Co. along with the Everett and Cable-Nelson names. The produced fine grand and upright pianos that became proud possessions in homes all over the nation. Cable-Nelson was a name so well established that it was to become the first rank of the piano industry on the strength of the excellence of its product and the high standard of its business policy. The company continued   over the years with various names until 2015.

Cocktail bar.
With a little ingenious work this Piano could be filled with the “spirits” of music. The
idea of giving this piano a second life by transforming the cabinet into a functional piece of furniture as a bar/server,  display or even a headboard.  Theres enough space for room under the the keyboard cover for shot glasses and stir sticks etc. The keys could be removed to make room for a serving area, and the lower chamber could be modified for additional storage.
