John Tuttle's article makes a lot of sense.  I, for one, am very
happy to caretake and to be seen as such, as it is in other veteran
or antique type restoration, an honourable pursuit.

Whilst it may no longer be considered an industry, player and other
mechanical musical instrument repair and service will absolutely
continue.  The reaction from the young person to see and hear his first
player piano is one of the great rewards of this field, whether it is
your living or your hobby.
