Dear List

I was trying to understand why my customer kept saying his daughter was
going to finish the "player" on his highly ornate Steinway Grand
piano.  (1900-1920 is a rough guess)

Turns out it is a very attractive piece of furniture, highly ornate to match
the piano, with nice curves, that sits in front of the keys and over the
pedals and is a free-standing player mechanism.

Any information on this, including contacts (close to Michgan where
possible) would be most helpful as they want to get it up and running again.

Thanks very much!

Cal, if it's a unit that rolls up to the keyboard it is probably a Vorsetzer.  You can find some technical information about it at http://www.buysecure.com/playercare/reprints.html
