I noted that Seth W.  was interested in contacting the Vestal Press. The
address and phone numbers that Jody provided are indeed current as I spoke
with Harvey Roehl this morning and confirmed it. They are repeated here for
convenience.

As many of you know, Harvey Roehl (pronounced rail) is the founder and
longtime owner of the Vestal Press. In the early days, they published books
like "Put Another Nickel In", "Reproducing the Artist", and "Rebuilding The
Player Piano" as well as reprinting many early advertisements and service
publications for player pianos and other automatic musical instruments. They
no longer handle the reprints as these have all been sold (masters and all
existing stock) to Player Piano Company, Wichita, KS. They also do not
generally handle books published by other companies anymore. They do still
publish some of the premier books on automatic musical instruments including
Dave Bowers' "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments" and Art Reblitz'
"Rebuilding the Piano" and "Rebuilding the Player Piano". They have a 1995
catalog available which they will send if you call or write them.

Harvey is now semi-retired and most of the company operations are handled by
Vito Mannina and Elaine Stewart.

Harvey and Marion Roehl do however actively run a business called Marion
Roehl Recordings. These are cassette tapes and CD's recorded exclusively from
their personal collection of musical instruments. The exception is two tapes
that have been reproduced that were originally recorded in the 40's and 50's
at the Allen Herschell Carousel Works in North Tonawanda, NY, of a Wurlitzer
of undetermined size (probably a 153 ?).  The subjects of MRR tapes include
player pianos,  music boxes, photoplayers, calliopes and band organs. These
tapes and CD's are excellent. MRR can be reached at:

All automatic musical instrument lovers should be aware of both of these fine
companies. I hope this has been of some help.
