Did George Bernard Shaw Have a Pianola?
By Adam G. Ramet 

Yes, he did!  The instrument, an early 65-note Pianola push-up in
a very light colour satinwood, came up for sale with provenance at
auction in the UK several years ago.  There was mention in the MMD
at the time:

I think there is a photo of him playing it somewhere also.
