The first mail order auction of phonograph records and cylinders
and associated items for 2000, run by the "Phonograph Society of NSW"
in Australia closes on April 12.  If anybody is interested in taking
a look please go to:-  http://welcome.to/phonographsocietynsw
Then select the "Auctions" tab and click on "NEW".

Many Australian collectors of expression pianos and other automatic
music instruments like to collect original recordings of their favorite
pianists to compare the live recordings with the rolls.  I thought it
was quite an interesting collection and am interested in several
recordings myself.
