Just wanted to let everyone know that Irv Eilers passed away on
Wednesday, April 12, 2006, at 2:30 A.M.  I was just told this
information by one of his close friends.  I believe Irv was in his
late 80's.

I just met Irv a few years ago at his home in Los Angeles.  He was
a wonderful piano tuner and avid collector of reproducing pianos
and a member of AMICA.  Irv was a very kind man, and he loved the
reproducing piano.  He enjoyed playing them every day.  He will be
missed.
