Collectors in New Zealand
By Hauke Marxsen
Hi, New Zealanders,
I have a friend in New Zealand who owns an old player piano which is out-of-order and with a lot of rolls. He lives in Rotorua, which is on the north-island.
When I visited him last (5 years ago) he told me that he will rebuild it, when he has time for it. Now the time is coming for him -- he retired. He has no experience in rebuilding pianos and, I think, he has no contact with the mechanical music scene. But he has good handicraft skills, like most New Zealanders. I would like to send him some addresses or phone numbers of people (collectors or rebuilders) with whom he could talk.
Is there a similar organisation in New Zealand like AMICA or MBSI in the USA ? Who is the "Pope" of MM in New Zealand ? It would be nice if you could send me some information.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
