About 5 years ago I attended a "player piano" concert of works by Percy
Grainger at Melba Hall at the University of Melbourne. The concert was
organised by the Grainger Museum and the Conservatorium, and presented by
Dennis Condon and Harold Ball using their locally-built Duo-Art Vorsetzer
and the Conservatorium's piano. The hall was nearly full, and the concert
was a great success.

One of Harold's Ampicos has also made a number of guest appearances
in programs at the Victorian Arts Centre in recent years.  Contact me
directly if you would like more info.
