Introduction
By David Blake

Thanks for accepting me on the mailing list.

I first became interested in Pianolas during my 2 years in the USA in the 70s but since my return to the UK I never managed to get much info on them until recently.

In Leamington Spa in Warwickshire UK there is a nickelodeon museum at Ashorne Hall which has an extensive collection of Various AM items from musical boxes to Dance Hall piano,s one in particular which plays 3 Violins with a circular bow.

I have recently purchased at auction a Stanley Bramsmead pianola for 50, which I am currently starting to restore. I have also managed to pick up 100 early 88 note rolls of mostly classical music but with some 70s popular music as well.

There does not seem to be much internet exposer yet in the UK the AM subject.
