I am looking for any information about a "Solovox". There is no
manufacturer's name. I think it was made in the 1930's. It was a
piano attachment that made the piano sound like an organ. A cabinet
with tubes sits beside the piano.
Also, any information about Bradbury square grand pianos.
Thanks, Martin Anderson
