My name ? Jean Michel Détrey. 


Retired from Data processing (IBM 1958-97) and additionnally from banking.. (Banque de France 1948-50 , Banque de l' Algérie et de la Tunisie 1950-58).

I intend to chat about neither the former nor the latter but rather Pianola, more exactly about the player piano Pleyel Odeola, ( Pleyel for its accoustic , Odeola for its pneumatic ) on which I started pedalling as I was 6 six years old, on which I began pneumatic repairs at 18, which I inherited around 40 ....and which I finally let be entirely reconditionned at 60 . He is now 88.

Here it is :


On the top of the piano you may observe a few piano rolls boxes

Wait a little to peer inside :
