I thought I would officially introduce myself.  I am Don Teach and I have
been collecting player pianos of all kinds since 1969.  I have added-on to
the house twice to house over 30 nickelodeons and four reproducing grands,
and two years ago I started collecting music boxes.  My current wish list
include a Wurlitzer Violin-Flute Pianino, Nelson-Wiggen 5X,  Regina 15-1/2
inch changer, and a Regina clock with changer.

I am a member of AMICA and MBSI but am unable to attend meetings as my
full time job is running a music store.  Well, it really runs me.  We sell
Yamaha pianos and also have many brands of guitars.  The guitar business
has become our primary business.

I am the only piano collector in our area.  The next closest city of any
size is Dallas, Texas, about three hours from here.  I hope to write MMD
more about the joy of owning nickelodeon pianos and to encourage others
to join.
