Passing of Bill Kap, Player Piano Dealer
By Jim Divoky

It was at Bill Kap's piano store I first got interested in mechanical
music.  He's been in the same location since at least the early 1960's.

At http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/news-herald/obituary.aspx?pid=188840205 

  "Bill Kap was born on April 15, 1931 in Flint, Michigan and passed
  away on April 23, 2018.  He was a resident of East Cleveland for 20
  years and was the owner/operator of Bill Kap Piano since 1959.  He
  loved collecting music boxes and working at his store."
