Hi, New Zealanders,

I have a friend in New Zealand who owns an old player piano which is
out-of-order and with a lot of rolls.  He lives in Rotorua, which is on
the north-island.

When I visited him last (5 years ago) he told me that he will rebuild
it, when he has time for it.  Now the time is coming for him -- he
retired.  He has no experience in rebuilding pianos and, I think, he has
no contact with the mechanical music scene.  But he has good handicraft
skills, like most New Zealanders.  I would like to send him some
addresses or phone numbers of people (collectors or rebuilders) with
whom he could talk.

Is there a similar organisation in New Zealand like AMICA or MBSI in the
USA ?  Who is the "Pope" of MM in New Zealand ?  It would be nice if you
could send me some information.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
