Jesse French Pianos in Australia
By Arthur French Kelly

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

By happenstance I ran a Google search on "Jesse French" and found
the comments regarding the Jesse French pianola from Australia.

My grandfather was Horace E. French and my great grandfather was
Jesse French.  As a child I visited the French piano factory in
Newcastle, Indiana, a number of times.  Several members of my family
continue to own French baby grand pianos.

My mother, Elizabeth French, recalls a cousin by the name of Bruce
French who moved to Australia in the 1950s and from whom she lost
contact.  I would be curious to know if anyone has a contact with
Mr. French.
