Hi Jody,  We are actively searching for the next home for our Wurlitzer
theater organ and I am wondering if there is an appropriate way to take
advantage of the geographic diversity and number of your MMD members
to help me.  The organ is described at http://hardmanwurlitzer.com/ 

This recently restored 4/38 Wurlitzer theater organ is available for
sale or donation to a responsible tax-exempt organization having an
appropriate acoustical environment where it can be seen, played, and
heard in concert on a regular basis, and where proper security, long
term care and maintenance are assured.

Can you suggest an appropriate space in your area that we should
consider?  A few examples include a civic or school auditorium,
performing arts center, church, concert hall, maybe a movie theater.
Location and timing are not critical.  We welcome your thoughts and
ideas and would like to hear from you.  Please contact Jack Hardman
with your ideas for a suitable venue for this beautiful concert-ready
historic instrument.

My thanks and best wishes,

Jack Hardman

 [ Jack has been a participant in MMD discussions since 1995.  His
