Introduction
By Larry Lobel

Hi everyone; I've just joined the list. I'm a piano technician in California with 25 years in the business. At the beginning of my career I rebuilt a couple of players and had some experience with reproducing pianos, but have had little to do with MM instruments since then, though I've always loved mechanical music. I had the pleasure, about 1972, of visiting Larry Givens in Pennsylvania and seeing and hearing his marvelous collection of instruments.

Now an upright player has found its way into my hands and I'm doing a complete restoration on it; hence my renewed interest and seeking out this list. I also have a couple of reed organs, though they're not automatic.

I found some enjoyable and informative articles on my first reading; I hope I can contribute something worthwhile for other subscribers.
