Musical Museum Website
By Adam G. Ramet

The Musical Museum in Brentford has got its new website up and running.
Visit:

    http://www.musicalmuseum.co.uk

This is the museum put together by Frank Holland, (also founder of the
Player Piano Group whose website is http://www.playerpianogroup.org.uk )

If you visit London it is definitely worth a visit. It is in a huge
old church near Kew Bridge. The range of instruments is from small
music boxes though player pianos, more reproducing piano systems than
you can shake a stick at and orchestrions of all types, player organs
(Welte, Aeolian) a photoplayer and a large Wurlitzer rigged up to an
Aeolian Duo-Art Organ console.

They appear to have lost their last playable roll for their Mills Horse
Race piano (see the site for details) and seem intent on hand punching
their own replacement as their only currently available option to
bring music to the machine again. Can anyone help them out with a proper
original roll perhaps or suggest where they may obtain one (or more!)?

Yours,

Adam Ramet
