Hi Ken, Thanks for the letter and the information. As it turns out, I discovered that the player mechanism is the French-made Odeola. I found that out quite by accident when I was converting some .tif images to .gif images so I could send some information to Robbie Rhodes. Some 6-8 months ago a Frenchman sent me some photos of the Odeola action, and while filing the images I converted for Robbie, I decide to take a look at the other images in that particular folder. I noticed that the trackerbar looked somewhat similar. So, I enlarged the image and saw the small rectangular hole next to the round auto-sustain hole. Mystery solved! Thanks again for the other information. I'm going to forward it to Bob Furst, the author of the Blue Book of Pianos. Musically, John A.

WRIGHT PIANO COMPANY LTD. - A retail business that started selling boots and shoes in Strathroy, Ontario, in 1865, and evolved into a piano manufactory by 1908. James Wright, founder, passed on his love of music and the piano to his five sons, all of whom were at one time involved in the business. Although piano construction ended in April 1920 - by which time total production of the high-quality Wright Piano had reached more than 4,000 units - the name Wright Piano Company survived until the early 1930's. An orchestra, made up of four Wright brothers and two other musicians, gained wide acclaim in southwestern Ontario, during that decade. There is a picture in my book, but quality is too poor for scanning. I will watch for the player action pictures and can probably tell what the action was as I am most familiar with Canadian players, having an interest spanning fifty years now. I live in the area of Strathroy and could see what comes of a search in their local archives - but my personal opinion at this time, would tell me that another piano company supplied the basics for the Wright Piano. There were many major piano builders in the Clinton, Seaforth, Durham areas of Ontario who did their own metal casting etc. and I am certain that a major supply to the "Stencil" market came from these places.
