Re: New Zealand - Player Piano Wonderland!!!
By Michael Woolf
Daniel Wilson is misinformed when he says New Zealand has only one player piano. We are only a small nation but there are some interesting collections here. Rod Cornelius and Jonathan White each have collections of significant size, to mention only two - and I'm mentioning them because as I write they're way above the Pacific Ocean heading for Chicago, and I hate them.
My other good friend Alan Brehaut has some good stuff as well, and modesty forbids my mentioning details of my small accumulation of stuff apart from stating that I have at last count twelve player pianos including a Red Welte Steinway upright, a Duo-Art PedArt and the upright Wurlitzer piano forming part of my soon-to-be -MIDI'd theatre organ.
So watch it, Dan - any more putting-down of New Zealand and I would sic my pet kangaroo on you, if it wasn't for the fact that kangaroos live in Australia, not New Zealand, and I'd need to go to a zoo to find one . . .
Come on down here, folks - we'll show you player pianos !
