New Player Piano Book by Juergen Hocker
By Juergen Hocker

Thanks to Matthew Caulfield, Fred Dahlinger and Walter Tenten for
announcing my player piano book to the MMD-world.  I think it would be
worth translating the book to English in order to make it accessible to
the huge number of American and English player piano fans, and it would
give me great satisfaction if an English translation could be done.
But I have no idea how to proceed.  First of all we have to find a
publisher and secondly a translator who is familiar with mechanical
music.

I would be grateful for any proposal how this could be managed and
I would give all possible assistance for this project.  I am sure there
is a lot of unpublished information in this book which is of interest
for all player piano enthusiasts.  You will find more information under
http://www.playerpianokonzerte.de/faszination_player_piano.htm 

Merry Christmas for all MMD readers.

P.S.: Maybe Robbie, who knows the book, can add a little notice at the
end of this contribution.

 [ asking.  :-)  -- Robbie
