This article mentions the piano having electric billows for the suction necessary to operate the piano. I had the opportunity to play a piano similar, but with foot pump billows. It took some doing to keep it going! Although the one I played was quite old and in rough shape. It leaked air, but once it was going it was great fun.

That’s the kind we have. The kids enjoy seeing how fast they can pump the pedals to try to get the songs to play faster.
