Passing of Siegfried Wendel
By Cecil Dover

Sorry to hear of Siegfried Wendel's death.  I met him in 1999 on
a visit to Ruedesheim.  He encouraged me to lose my inhibitions and
crank the small organ in the museums entrance room for the rest of
the audience to enjoy.  Does anyone know whether the orchestrion
replica building will continue?  I still have to get my Maesto!

On another note, for people selling reproducing pianos, or any grand
piano for that matter, please don't forget to show or note the size.
The Mason & Hamlin Ampico A in yesterdays 'for sale' list looks like
a beautiful piano; however, without size it is hard for anyone to
judge the value.
