Style "K" Wurlitzer Photoplayer in New Zealand
By Don Paynter

A big Hi to all MMD readers from New Zealand!  This is to let you
all know, especially MMD readers in New Zealand, that the Photoplayer
Restoration Trust is taking the Photoplayer on its first public
outing to the Waikato Home and Garden Show in Hamilton on the 2nd
to 5th October, 2014.

Its last public outing was in 1948 at the Strand Theatre in Auckland.
We had hoped to be taking a playing piano but we didn't quite make
it, as not all the new hammers will be fitted at this time.

Also on display with the Photoplayer will be two player pianos: an
old restored upright and a new baby grand player.  Music from both
pianos will be played along with recorded music of a Photoplayer.
Instruments from the side cases will also be displayed at the show.
