FS: Piano Rolls Played By Ursula Dietrich
By Louis Fontenot

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

Greetings -- I recently inherited a lot of antique and collectable
items from a semi-famous person.  Among the items are several piano
player polls.  I was wondering if I described them to you, would you be
able to tell me if they are worth any value to someone interested in
buying them.  All of them are "Q R S".  Some say 'hand played',
while others say "Illustrated Word Rolls".  They each have various
inscriptions such as:

  Autographed signature (Ursula Dietrich), Hand played, #80256
  "MEDIATION" - key of Db played by Ursula Dietrich

  Autographed signature (Ursula Dietrich), Hand played, #80469
  "Moonlight on the Hudson" - key of Db played by Ursula Dietrich

  Illustrated Word Roll, CU-265, Amica Convention 1980, Pasadena CA

The others are similar.  They are still in the boxes and seem to be
quite old.  Can you assist me with what I have?

I would really appreciate any information you have to offer.  Please
reach me at:

Thanks!
