MMD readers and Musical Box Society members will be sad to hear that
Michael Woolf passed away yesterday after a long illness.  After owning
a Violano Virtuoso for over 30 years he was finally able to hear it
play for the first time a few weeks ago thanks to a clever electrical
engineer here in New Zealand, and this gave him quite a boost.
