Passing of Frank Salisbury, Sydney Player Tech
By Steve Marx

I am saddened to pass on the news of the passing of Frank Salisbury
of Salisbury's Piano Service in Sydney, Australia.  A true Master,
Frank Salisbury started his apprenticeship in 1951 and had been
rebuilding player pianos for 55 years, as did his father before him
(who started his apprenticeship 1916).  I am proud to say he was my
mentor.

Nobody ever had a bad word to say about Frank, and Frank never said
a bad word about anyone, not even about bad tradesman; he was a true
master and gentleman.  He will be sadly missed in Sydney.
