How to find us...
Address: Weil 25, 85229 Weil / Markt Indersdorf
...by appointment only...
By car... Most navigation systems will also find this somewhat hidden place in the countryside. It is important to use the postcode in the navigation system, as there are several places called "Weil" in Bavaria, some of which are further away. The street can be found under the terms "Weil 25, Weiler Strasse 25 or Weiler Gnailes 25". The 'Weil solar park' is on the same site.
Coming from Munich, you can also drive through the villages and enjoy the marvellous landscape. This is the shortest route and does not take longer. Otherwise, take the A8 motorway towards Stuttgart and exit at Sulzemoos, Odelzhausen or Adelzhausen - then follow the signs to Altomünster. In Altomünster, drive across the beautiful market square and pass the green town hall on the left. Leave Altomünster on this road and follow the road to Eichhofen. After approx. 1.5 km and behind a hilltop you will see the entrance to the former farm on the left - turn left up the cobbled path and keep right past the large hall - you will find us there in the transverse building labelled 'FASZINATIONPIANOLA.
Coming from Nuremberg, take the A9 motorway at the Allershausen exit and follow the signs to Petershausen and then Altomünster.
By public transport... Altomünster station is easily accessible by train. From there it is 2km to our location. We will be happy to pick you up from the railway by arrangement.

Why FASZINATION PIANOLA
I have been fascinated by old pianos and pianolas for almost forty years now. Even as a child, the piano spark ignited a passion that continues to fascinate me to this day. This passion also took shape through a childhood friend with whom I was often allowed to visit Hamburg's Steinway & Sons workshops, as his father worked there.
My great desire to learn the piano or to have one at home was cancelled out with the purchase of a guitar 😉 A diversions - as buying a piano would have meant too much financial and spatial effort - and probably also because my parents weren't sure whether this could just be a fleeting idea. It wasn't.
Years later, with the support of my parents, I got my first beautiful and unfortunately technically ruined piano (Ludwig Wulff & Co. from Copenhagen) - purchased from a Danish antique dealer. The friendly piano maker who came to tune it for the first time told me there were two ways to make this piano playable again - repair it for DM 3,000.00 or take a job during the holidays and work it off. The latter seemed more realistic to me as a student.
My passion for the old instruments meant that I was able to persuade the friendly piano maker not to cannibalise the very old pianos any further, but to let me have them for very little money. For reasons of space, I couldn't keep them all and started selling instruments on. And that's when I discovered my real fascination for pianos. Finding pianos and pianolas from the golden era, discovering their history, restoring them to their original splendour, finding new appreciative hands - and all this in close contact with enthusiasts and experts all over the world. Touching stories and experiences from the many encounters are an important part of my work today.
Pianolas are a fascination of their own for me, as they triggered a world-wide enthusiasm, especially in the period 1900-1930, and the musical repertoire on music rolls represents an immeasurable treasure. Even after decades, the fascination remains unbroken.
