•It seems like every couple of weeks I get a request about parts, advice, rolls, discs, etc. for various instruments that I own and display on my web site, and I often don't know where to forward them. This week it was PlayASax rolls; last week it was music box movements; the week before someone who...

•Fellow MMDers, I lost an eBay auction this evening. Not that that's too unusual but it's the massive amount by which I lost that has me totally mystified. The auction was titled, Coinola Piano Pianola Music Book Memorabilia, item number 7306654829. This consisted of four modern reprints, and yes, t...

•Now that Muzak Holdings is filing for bankruptcy, it would "open the door" to put Wurlitzer player harps "on location" in countless elevators! The elevator cabs auxiliary socket could be used, except when it is needed it for the vacuum cleaner. It would give new meaning to the term "elevator music"...

•If I had the good fortune to own an Ampico and the like, I would always want to play it with a roll. To "make" the piano play in any other way would be defeating the object of being a collector to appreciate the technology of that era. I am recording all my 78 rpm records because they might get bro...

•What a great project! I would buy the software in a flash. I have a couple of chromatic organs: a 54-note and a 4-rank 64-note. Over the years I have saved a lot of MIDI files from the web with the thought that "one day" I will try and get them to work better on the organs. Lack of time is not so m...

•I have a small MIDI driven street organ. It is fully chromatic, so it can play orchestral music and swing found on the Internet really nicely (at least to my ears). This music is much richer than arrangements made for traditional street organs which are often necessarily limited by the roll or book...

•Hi All, Craig Brougher has written another interesting and informative article in which he examines the subject of 'why an Ampico B might not play an Ampico A roll well'. Since this has been a topic of much discussion, dating back to the days before the Ampico B went into production, Craig includes...

•Hi Everyone, This is in response to Jarrah Weiting's posting. A few months ago, the Make-A-Wish foundation approached me with a similar request. They needed a music box that had a custom tune on it. I volunteered to make it and it turned out well. We had a discussion on MMD in the past about the so...
