Player Tech Donald Barton in Minneapolis
By Ed Copeland

I have just received my Franklyn back from Donald Barton, in
Minneapolis.  Don was rebuilding the expression mechanism, and
what a difference.  If I wasn't sold on reproducing pianos before,
I am now.

It's almost as if I got a different instrument back.  The softs and
crescendos are very impressive.  I am very pleased with Mr. Barton's
work and highly recommend him to anyone in the Twin Cities, that needs
work, but doesn't feel qualified to do it.  This is the second Instru-
ment he has done for me; the first was a Coinola A-roll machine (with
mandolin).

Just wanted to pass this along to the group.
