Introduction
By Don Teach
I thought I would officially introduce myself. I am Don Teach and I have been collecting player pianos of all kinds since 1969. I have added-on to the house twice to house over 30 nickelodeons and four reproducing grands, and two years ago I started collecting music boxes. My current wish list include a Wurlitzer Violin-Flute Pianino, Nelson-Wiggen 5X, Regina 15-1/2 inch changer, and a Regina clock with changer.
I am a member of AMICA and MBSI but am unable to attend meetings as my full time job is running a music store. Well, it really runs me. We sell Yamaha pianos and also have many brands of guitars. The guitar business has become our primary business.
I am the only piano collector in our area. The next closest city of any size is Dallas, Texas, about three hours from here. I hope to write MMD more about the joy of owning nickelodeon pianos and to encourage others to join.
