Can someone help me with the manufacturing dates of Marshall & Wendell
pianos with the Nos. 107615 and 107414 ?  I have a book with piano-
numbers but there are no M&W pianos in it.

These two pianos are the former Conlon Nancarrow pianos.  I saw them
today in the Paul-Sacher-foundation in neighboring Basel, dusty and with
a few Mexican moths inside, but still playing.  I heard one of the
"Studies for Pianos" for a trial;  now begins (very carefully) the act of
conservation and documentation before any possible repair or restoration.

Kind regards

 [ Gerhard, let us know how we MMD members in USA can help with the
 [ restoration of the pianos.  It seems appropriate that we do something
 [ to help the commemoration of this former American composer.  -- Robbie
