•Hi, MMDers: Here's a link to a Honolulu Star-Bulletin article about an upcoming concert featuring MIDIized Rachmaninoff in Hawaii. It's nice to see articles in the news featuring reproducing pianos and their rolls, but once again, we find an author relegating "musical hobbyists" as those who seemin...

•Hello All, Since the video in this short link contains a couple of what could be considered automatic musical items, I thought I'd forward it. Enjoy! http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/video?id=861 Jim Heyworth, Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada

•Hi Folks, I was directed to this link via a publication that I usually consider to be reliable. That being said, I sure have a lot of questions regarding the veracity of this particular video clip. Unfortunately, for a moderately technical magazine there is a dearth of information. I was suspicious...

•Hello - I was reading Bob Kissick's contribution about Gordon Iles and the Link trainer right after Googling Hayes, Middlesex, UK. This past September we had stopped at a B&B in Hayes. Since then, I heard that Aeolian was once located there, and Bob tells us that Iles worked for them. On the websit...

•Hi Robbie, I found a link on YouTube that you will surely find fine. Patrick Mathys is a Frenchman and a self-made man in mechanical music. I organise shows where organs are always present and he is a good musician also. I saw him several times at the organ rally in Les Gets. This video can nicely ...

•I'm sorry, I intended to link a video to my post but it didn't work. The sheet says "Tambour Major" under magnification, but a friend says it is not from the Offenbach operetta. A mistake would not surprise me -- #5 on the tune sheet reads "Cloches de Corneville" but the tune is Verdi's "Vivra, con...

•One wonders if too much is being made of trying to find a linkage between the term 'tracker' as used in the pipe organ business (mechanical linkage between the keyboard and the pipe valves), and the way we use the word as in 'tracker bar'. It seems to me to be just another example of two words of d...

It is now http://www.phono.org/limoges.html It is sometimes difficult to keep up with the changes. However, ...

•All bourdon or diaphragm-capsule gages with a rack-and-pinion dial linkage are flawed with non linearity, inaccuracy, and uncertain zero at the low end of the scale, and can suffer zero-shift or irreversible calibration error if over-ranged accidentally. Many people would wish to use the water mano...

•Robbie, I went to the address you linked on the MMD yesterday and tried 2 players on file app_002c.mp3 Neither AudioActive or Nero could play it. I get a window that says, "Unexpected file format."
