At http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfmBtVT9T3M is a quick flick
through some of the Player Piano Group archives. The music is
a track from the Grand Organ Concert at the historic Sir David
Salomons House on 3rd May 2009 -- the Welte Style 10 Concert
Orchestrion is heard playing a selection from Planquette's operetta
"Les Cloches de Cornville".
Seen are the miniature piano, once property of Reginald Reynolds,
Aeolian's London chief demonstrator and Duo-Art recording engineer
(the piano is signed by a myriad of famous pianists!), early bulletins,
correspondence and clippings, photos from the '70s, '80s and '90s,
images from more recent AGM concert-days, weekends-away and socials
plus shots of the Golden Jubilee weekend at Salomons in Kent and
Brighton. The images show the very wide scope of the group activities
and peripheral interests.
