Tuning a 24-note Hicks Barrel Piano
By Don Taig

Thanks to MMD Posters

I'm a long term collector and a recent convert to the MMD.  Today,
during a bitterly cold spring day in Melbourne, Australia, I was going
through Kevin McElhone's "The Organette Book", and reading a very
helpful response to a question of mine from Craig Smith, and I thought
how lucky we are in this hobby to have such dedicated and well informed
people that can assist us all from time to time.

Kevin's book was full of great pictures, text and importantly, technical
information which solved a couple of restoration issues for me.  For
those with organettes of any description, I can certainly recommend
this text.  People like Craig and the many others that consistently
contribute on the MMD are truly unique individuals which need to be
thanked in order to keep their contributions coming.

'Well done' to all who serve the mechanical music hobby and personally,
my sincere thanks wherever you are in this world of ours.

Kind regards to all Digesters.
