Hello all, I received a request from a customer who is a descendant
of the family of the Rice-Wuest piano company in Woodbury, New Jersey.
He is looking for a player with the name Albrecht, Blasius or Regent

help him find such an instrument. I told him if it can be found, it
will be on MMD! Thanking you in advance,
Shawn Quigley
