Josef Flux, early 19th-century Silesian piano maker

[Willis Bodine]

Dear Pianotech List:

As a new subscriber, I ask your assistance in two matters:

Does anyone know of a source for information about Josef Flux, an early
19th-century Silesian piano maker?  His Opus #108 has surfaced in our
community, and I am seeking to assist the family in documenting the instrument.

Does anyone know of a recent market sale of a Virgil Tekniklavier (a
piano-sized keyboard with click-action only, no strings or musical sound,
widely used for pedagogy in USA and England in the early 20th century)?

Thanks very much for your help.
