India, Mechanical Music in
By Richard Vance

Does anybody know if there are any MM enthusiasts, collections or museums
in India?

There is very little mention of India in any of the literature, and no
Indian members or organizations are listed in the club directories.  I am
going to India on business in a few weeks, to the Bombay and Pune area,
and would appreciate any information about the possibilities for MM
connections there.

I suspect that any remnant of the British enthusiasm for the Pianola
would most likely exist in the Darjeeling area where the climate and the
remnants of the British community in the Subcontinent would favor the
preservation of instruments.  Unfortunately, this is about as far away
from Bombay as one can be in India.
