FS: London Made Weber Pianola in California
By Julian Dyer
Just spotted an interesting Pianola for sale in California on eBay,
item 850401953. This is a London-made Weber of pre-WW1 vintage, with
'Orchestrelle Company' on the plate -- another entry in the MMD's widely
travelled instrument category!
These early UK instruments were designed by renowned expert Samuel
Wolfenden and can be superb (better than the 1920s models). Quite
different to the American Webers of the same age. May be worth
checking out. I'd have a look if it was 6000 miles closer!
