I was very interested in Marco Riva's post about the Italian roll-makers
FIRST.  When I was Editor of the (London) Player-Piano Group Bulletin in
1989 I wrote to Antonio Latanza in Rome asking if he knew anything about
FIRST.  He responded with a very good article about the then recent
setting-up of the manufacture of Fazioli pianos in Milan, which all
started (does MMD know this ?) as a project to make from scratch and
market a new, top-quality, Duo-Art concert grand piano.  So I wasn't
inclined to complain !

Yes, more about FIRST, please !  The rolls do turn up here in small
quantity, as do the Spanish "Victoria" rolls.
