Player Pianos vs. Coin Pianos
By Harald Mueller

Hello and thanks for your comments.  I have been to Waldkirch already
two times, and to Triberg im Schwarzwald.  (And I also know the Bruder
organ in San Francisco because I've lived in San Jose CA for two
years.)  I'm awestruck at what is out there, but also, well..., not
really rich.  :-)

There is a Welte Style 2 orchestrion on your pages, estimate GBP 20K
to 40K, about 10 times as much as I can afford :-(

But you're right, I should specify a little more clearly what I want.
I'll do that on the weekend, when I can look into the awfully thick
"Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments".  Still, a player piano
is one thing I want, even if it sounds somewhat "human".  ;-)
