Spanish Pianola Terminology
By Dan Wilson, London

Silvia -

You said to Ian McLaughlin, and he forwarded the enquiry to the
Mechanical Music Digest:-

> I find your page about the pianola very interesting. I couldn't find
> many pages about this instrument.  Could you recommend me any Spanish
> page? I am a translator, and need to know the Spanish terminology
> related to this instrument.

There was once a considerable automatic piano industry based in
Barcelona. The makers of the internationally-known "Victoria" rolls were
there and four or five player-piano makers. There must be a small number
of surviving employees who could help you or maybe some local industrial
archives.

I suggest you advertise there in a local newspaper, or make some
enquiries of Barcelona piano dealers who are on the Internet.

Dan Wilson, near London
