Mechanical Music Sources List
By Dan Wilson

Jody -

If your list is meant to be international, and I notice
Mastertouch is in it, don't forget the sources I mentioned in (I
think) 96.05.29:-

•Steve Cox        Makes very good 88n and Duo-Art recuts
Laguna Rolls     marketed under "Play Time" (two words !)
Laguna           label. He will copy rolls in very good
Lagoon Road      condition only: you have to buy six
PAGHAM           unless you can persuade him to buy some.
West Sussex PO21 4TH      ph/fax +44 1243 262041

•Also has medium stock of 2nd-hand rolls.

•Frances Broadway ("Roll Bid Enterprise" - postal auction)
39 Sydner Road  (NB Sydner not Sydney)
Stoke Newington
LONDON
N16 7UF      ph +44 171 254 6145
            fax +44 171 249 0130 (dedicated line)
•Also the sales outlet for Southport Music Rolls (new,
"hotel piano" music, also good Duo-Art recuts)

There are also the Player-Piano Group "Post Bid" auctions which
are run about four times a year - but you have to be a member !
See Societies - Great Britain.

Other resources mentioned in the Player-Piano Group's own
list which you don't have are:-

<16 museums including mech. music of some kind>
