I've been fascinated by self-playing instruments since childhood, and 
now have a sampling of several types.  I've rebuilt a Duo-Art Weber 
grand (long enough ago that it needs complete re-rebuilding now), fixed 
a music box or two, and just love listening to the machines and their
music.  I play "manual" piano and have composed some rags.  More later
when I have more time.
