Hello MMDer's,  This is to introduce myself.  My name is Dave McPeak,
I live in Brookline, Mass.  I am a member of the two pipe organ mailing
lists and have worked in that area years ago.  I worked for Aeolian-
Skinner, C.B. Fisk, and Andover Organ Co.  I am now a Property Manager
for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I found this list helping a fellow pipe organ lister look for a site
about mechanical instruments, mainly player pianos.  I read some of
the archive files, having an interest in reproducing pianos myself.
A friend has a beautifully restored Chickering Ampico "A" that, to me,
is a marvel.  I will be a lurker here until I start learning more
about the instruments you all discuss.

I do have a question, from another list member on Piporg-L: he has a
friend looking for a "Test Roll" made by Aeolian to test the Duo-Art
players.  Is there such a thing?  Respond privately or on the list, as
you wish.

Thanks in Advance, and I am happy to be here.

Dave McPeak
