University Declines Ampico Piano Donation
By Colin MacKinnon

I am amazed Bruce:  A music library with a large collection of music
rolls and no means of playing them!  What do they do with them, roll
them out like a magic carpet or more likely lock them away so no-one
can damage them?  It's like having a book library where you are not
allowed to read the books!

We get back to the old controversy of donating materials to institutions.
My thoughts are -- _do not._  Better to put it on eBay so others with
the incentive and money can enjoy owning it, rather than it being lost
forever in some inaccessible vault.
