> piano, bells, and all the usual percussion.
Does anyone know the type of roll used fot this? I know that Connorized cut the original BanjOrchestra roll in the 1910s (playing banjo, piano, tambourine, triangle, castanets and a small bass drum or tom-tom) - but imagine that they are way too scarce to be used in a replica instrument. A special scale?
