Hi,

My name is Merry Hineline and I am trying to restore the player action of a
1913 Gulbransen piano.  This piano belonged to my grandmother who passed away
last October.  The hoses and "registering piano" (this is what my Aunt called
it) was stolen by a tuner many years ago.  I a coming to understand that
restoring the piano will be next to impossible.  I also collect musical powder
boxes and have done so since I was a child.  I do not own very many pieces as
I find they are hard to come by in an antique store.

I live in San Diego not too far from Jody Kravitz.  We are enjoying a mild
winter evidenced by the wearing of shorts yesterday.  I am enjoying reading
all of your posts.

Sincerely,

Merry Hineline
