Hello friends,  So I finally got a pianola, it's a lovely 1960's Janssen
kept in immaculate condition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USVJflSiRMU 

I purchased this so I can write music on it, but I have no way of
punching holes.  I've already bought Bob Essex's MIDster plans (on
their way) but am having a hard time finding someone to build me the
machine.  I've begun considering using a manual puncher (as Conlon
Nancarrow did for years in his cold, dark and cobweb-infested studio).

So I basically want to use this huge network of mechanical music heads
to see if there is someone, anyone that I can commission to build a
machine for me?  Or if someone has an 88-note perforator by either Star
or Leabarjan they want to let go?

I am serious about writing for this instrument -- here are some of my
Disklavier pieces: http://amzn.com/B0051U85R4 

Hope to hear from someone; please send me a message:
