•-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD -- Dear Jody, Recently a gentleman asked if anyone had a record titled "Afternoon in Amsterdam". Someone did and offered to send him a tape of the record. I too have that record and have enjoyed it immensely over the years. I also have a 12" LP t...

•Hi Randall and list. Sounds like you are having fun. Motor leads: I would remove the tape very carefully, then put new wire to the fuse box and retape. I would not replace the leads to the motor. They should be okay. The oil reservoirs: they do not have seals. I would remove the oil level fittings ...

•Hi All, This last year I tinkered together a Pianocorder "Obensetzer". I had been playing my own tapes made from Midi files, run through Mark Fontana's Midi-to-Pianocorder software. The files came from the Internet, and I also generate them from piano rolls by playing my Dynavoice keytop player on ...

•Thanks for the note [MMD 001024]. Since this appeared after the fact, does the museum have a tape of that show? I visited the Music House Museum a few years back and it really is a marvelous place. Sorry to have missed the show. Thank you, Susan Robinson

•[ Re 001114 MMDigest, Seek Music of Old Barrel Organs ] Hello Mogens. A number of years ago, which would probably have been 1974, I borrowed this cassette tape from MBSI and returned it as requested. In any case, if you cannot track it down with them, I did make a copy for my own use and you are we...

•I have a Vorsetzer Pianocorder with the original owners manual. In the manual it explains that the light goes out as the tape plays, but comes back on as the tape comes to the end of the selection. My service man explained to me that it also comes on between notes. Watch and see if the light coinci...

•I was at Disneyland a few months ago and I seem to recall there being some sort of mechanical music thing behind the Dumbo flying elephant ride. I can't tell you if it was a working machine, if it played tape recordings or what. Sorry, I just didn't pay that much attention. Regarding Tim Trager's c...

•Hi All: I recently purchased a new Estonia 6'3" grand and had a PianoDisc 128+ installed. My idea was that I could record improvisations, then edit them on a computer, return them to the acoustic piano and record them onto tape. I was disappointed to find out that while the PianoDisc can read an IB...

•Hi MMDers. As you have heard from me several times in the past, I use Filmoplast archival repair tape, made by the Neschen Company in Germany, on my piano rolls. Two useful adhesive tapes are Filmoplast P, which is thin, and Filmoplast P90, which is thicker and is good where some extra strength is ...

•Hi Paul, I seen in the MMD your note of Friday 12 October, 2001 in regards to Torn and Damaged Rolls. For my music roll customers, I do stock the archival paper repair tape in the 1/2 inch variety and I also stock the 1 inch variety that has been cut into Two - 1/4 inch rolls, Two 1/8th inch rolls...

•Tim, What your are describing in your posting to 011121 MMD involves the question of performance royalties which might be owed to the copyright holder of the original composition (or arrangement) that underlies the music recorded on a roll or tape, or CD, or phonograph record. When you run a sound ...

•While visiting the Musical Wonder House in 1985, I happened to pick up a copy of the cassette version that was available in the (requisite) post-tour gift shop, along with a number of other recordings. I long ago wore out the tape from listening to it so much! It probably had more to do with my fal...

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- Regarding Roger Waring enquiring about standards conversion of video tapes (MMD 01.12.14), it is worth pointing out that most recent VCRs and televisions sold in the UK are in fact capable of displaying NTSC. When playing an NTSC tape in a modern...

•When you make your roll repair device make sure to not have a flat table area except for when you are punching new holes. For tape repairs you should have a large curve with the roll spread over it. Something like unrolling the roll over an oatmeal box. The curve will keep the tape from puckering w...

•About two months ago I ordered from them and spoke to Patricia Eakins personally. She was quite responsive and I received my tape forthrightly. I suggest that you call again, possibly in the evening, when she is at home. Vincent Morgan, NY City

•The video of the Wurlitzer Factory Tour is available from Movies Unlimited (www.moviesunlimited.com), catalogue number 10-9996, for $14.99 plus postage, according to my catalogue. I ordered the tape last year from them and it has given great service. The Texas chapter of AMICA saw it at my home las...

•I have made and sold a good cassette of my Weber Unika salon piano with violin pipes. The tape shows what a well-tuned Unika can do and how realistically the violin pipes sound like a violin. It is available for $10.00 postpaid. Ron Bopp 55801 E 365 Jay, OK 74346

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MDD -- Hi, I build small music box bases for my miniature carousel horses that I carve. Do you know any sources of a small tape player or whatever that would give me a calliope music sound that I could build into my music box base? If you are interested...

•Which medium has the message? I suppose it's understandable, especially in this venue, to feel that "Paper Music Media" and "Magnetic Music Media" are mutually exclusive. Not so -- the first magnetic tape recordings were produced by the Germans during WW2. Those tapes were made of paper. Leave it t...
