My name is Allan Merralls.  I have been interested in player instruments
most of my 53 years as my grandfather had a big collection of instruments
and it was a treat to go in the music room and hear them all weakly
playing at once.  I inherited a 17.25 Stella, a Billon-Haller box, some
whistlers, a bird box and traded a Calliope for a Seeburg MO.  I got a
pretty good start on the Seeburg MO when we had a kid 14 years ago, now I
use it for a piano.

My main connection to the hobby is through this wonderful digest!
A sincere thanks to everyone sharing their experience and knowledge.
