Worth Reading
17. March 2020
The Gesellschaft für Selbstspielende Musikinstrumente e.V. publishes a quarterly journal with the following names Das Mechanische MusikinstrumentAlthough most of the articles are about barrel organs, music boxes etc., there are also some interesting articles about pianolas. This journal is sent to members of the association - but you can also purchase the titles individually or as a CD with pdf files. Some of the older issues in particular are very interesting.
We love Pianos / Pianolas and offer a lot of extraordinary things on these pages. This involves a lot of time and expenses for us.
We welcome feedback and appreciative support so that we can continue to provide special finds from our worldwide research.
