Hello, my name is Jo Ann Schulte and I've been surfing the net for
information about the Player Piano.

I would like to purchase one in the future but I didn't realize how
much information or the variety of players out there!  I've been
reading the MMD digest and now I feel like I'm overwhelmed.  Since I'm
not one to give up, I'm going to start again by going to the library.

Can you suggest any reading materials?  I want to learn to play the
piano and want to use the player.  I plan to purchase rolls for it in
the future.  I'm open to suggestions and/or hints, and would appreciate
the help.  I never thought something like a player piano could be so
complicated.  I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on where to
start.

I also wanted to send a special thank you to Robbie and Cyndy Hennig.
I appreciate the article on the NCA.  I love carousels and have been
looking for more information so your timing couldn't have been better.
Again, thank you both very much.

 [ Welcome to MMD, Jo Ann.  In its heyday lots of tutoring rolls were
 [ produced for the player piano, for just your need, and they still
 [ show up in collections and for sale.  I hope our MMDers can tell
 [ you about the rolls and whatever related books there might be.
 [ And you're absolutely right -- there is lots you can learn from
 [ studying the rolls created by master performers and arrangers!
 [ Best wishes.  -- Robbie
