Note: Operators Piano Co. instruments were not only made by them under the "Coinola" name, but also were sold by Victor Coin, Seltzer Co. (who also sold Seeburg instruments), and by the Lyon and Healy Co. under the "Empress Electric" name. Most Victor Coin and Seltzer instruments are simply Coinola pianos with a different name on the fallboard. However, at least one "Victor coin" piano known has a different case than known Coinola models. "Empress Electric" instruments, however, do not use Coinola cases and pianos, but rather just the Coinola mechanisms and instruments installed within a Lyon and Healy piano case (usually made by Washburn). Since these models are mechanically and instrumentationally equivalent to regular Coinola models (despite the different pianos, and case and art glass designs), they are included here.

Other instruments sold by Empress, such as the "Majestic", "Majestic Junior", and "Pianette", were manufactured respectively by the Automatic Musical Co. (Link), the Pianova Company, and F.G. Otto and sons; please consult these sections for further information. 

The "Solo Expression Twin Tracker Empress" (AKA the model L) was not manufactured by Coinola. However, some of the cases for these were used, possibly later on, for regular Empress Electric instruments with Coinola actions, such as the model Y. For more on the model L, please see the Lyon and Healy page.
