I am sorry to hear of another closure, although I must admit it is many
years since I have visited Paul Corin's museum.  However I believe
(possibly wrongly) that Paul had the piano part (only) of one of the
recording pianos used at Hayes.  I am told that it had a huge multicore
cable coming from under the keyboard.   It almost certainly came from
the Gordon Isles (Artona) sale; so it may not have been totally
original, although quite a few of the Artona bits were original.

The piano, an upright, didn't look like anything special, but if it was
original, it may be worth someone documenting it properly before it
disappears.

Is there anyone who can answer these questions:

	1) Is the recording piano still there, or where is it?
	2) Is it original, or was it altered by Gordon Isles?
	3) Is it possible to document it properly (contacts, circuit 	
	diagrams etc.)

Is there anyone in the Cornwall area prepared to do it, as I am too far
away?
