   I spoke to Dennis Condon recently and the deal with Yamaha has
fallen through much to Dennis's dissapointment. Apparently they aren't
interested in in recording any of his collection for the Disklavier.
Which in my opinion is quite sad also, but there you go.....

   Dennis has any amazing collection of re-producing rolls, forty odd
years of collecting them makes quite a few.
