This is Mike Concordia, a player piano enthusiast for the last 3 or so
years.  I enjoy player action rebuilding/restoring as a hobby and enjoy
(somewhat less) similar activities on the pianos themselves.  After
removing several layers of paint from 2 uprights, the refinishing part
has worn thin - (so to speak).  I can really sympathize with Stan
Rhine's recent comments too.  I would eventually like to acquire and
restore a Duo-Art reproducing piano but a mortgage and a baby will
delay this for a while!  I live in south Florida but am from
Connecticut and so am pretty familiar with the New England area (and
still have family up there).

By the way Jody, congratulations on your new daughter. I'm sure you
will enjoy parenthood.
