Barclay Wright and Mastertouch Pianola Rolls
By Peter Edmonds

By coincidence, the weekend after our Orchestrelle article was pub-
lished, a programme on Barclay Wright and his Mastertouch Piano Roll
Company was televised Australia-wide, followed a week later by a radio
interview with him (again, broadcast nationally).  The interview told
the story of how Mastertouch had survived the Depression, television,
and rock and roll.  The company is currently producing rolls mainly for
the nostalgia market, employs 12, and is moving to new premises.

The Mastertouch story, roll pricing and ordering information, and the
(extensive) catalogue, both alphabetical and by music category can be
found on their web site,

Pianola players -- I hope you find some rolls of interest to you!
