New members are always made very welcome, we are a small and we like to think friendly group.
Although we 'Specialise' in Player pianos and Organs if you are interested in Mechanical Music in any form from old Gramophones, Harmoniums or Barrel Organs to the most sophisticated Player Organs and Reproducing Pianos - even modern Electronic Player Pianos (like the Yamaha Disklavier or QRS Pianomation) we will almost certainly have other members with similar interests, and many of these items are demonstrated at our meetings..
At our last AGM we had a a member with a computer using it to play a 'real' Acoustic Piano - and then switching to playing a modern Electronic Piano (as well as churning out endless MIDI through mini speakers)..
You do not need to own an instrument to be interested in joining us, in fact if you are thinking of acquiring one it is a good idea to attend a few of our meetings and see some of the range and types of mechanical players that are available. You may even find another member with a 'spare' one for sale.
We did hope to have a membership form here for you to complete - but it is not ready yet, so if you are interested please ring our MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY, Derrick on 0161 9280811 - I always think a personal contact is best and you can ask him for any special details. If we have a MEETING in your area he will give you details and you are very welcome to 'try us out'.
