Phil, I don't quite know what to say; the bottom line is they're made
of paper and they can tear.  Older rolls made in the 20's can be kind of
fragile.  The rolls I sell are copies of original rolls and are a little
sturdier.

How old are the kids?  I'd gladly give you a few rolls and maybe some
other material that might interest them.  I'd also suggest you contact
Jody Kravitz (rolls@foxtail.com).  He manages an E-mail distribution
list for player piano collectors.  There are lots of other folks in the
hobby who would thrilled to hear that someone wants to teach kids about
mechanical music.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ed Chaban
