I found the story fascinating.  I really enjoy reading about how
mechanical music enthusiasts became interested in the field, their
first projects, how they learned to "make it work", unusual first time
approaches, unusual instruments, etc.

So, Peter, how about the next installment regarding the Vorsetzer?

Yours, in anticipation,
