Recutting Skinner Aeolian-Hammond Rolls
By Dick Hack

I will be doing a roll recutting project of 50 different Aeolian
Hammond rolls.  These rolls will be exact copies of the original rolls
and in quality boxes with labels.  They will be guaranteed, and will
sell for $1550 plus shipping for the set of 50.  There will be 16 sets
of these rolls to sell.

If you have any questions about this project, or if you are interested
in a set of these rolls please call or email me.

Does anyone know of any Aeolian-Hammond owners so that I might send out
a project letter or email?  Also, does anyone have any original rolls
that might be available to borrow for the project?  So far I have found
about 60 rolls that I can borrow to recut, but I would like to have as
large a selection as possible from which to choose rolls.  (There will
be free rolls given to those who lend rolls.)

There are still a few subscriptions of Wurlitzer Harp and Pianolin roll
sets available as well.  If you are interested, please call for
details.

Thank you.

 [ Editor's note:
 [
 [ The box label says "Duo-Art Music / Semi-Automatic / Made by
 [ Aeolian-Skinner Organ Co in Boston".  See MMD Archives, subject
 [ "Semi-Automatic", "Aeolian-Skinner" and "Aeolian-Hammond".
 [
 [ At http://mmd.foxtail.com/MMMedia/identifying.html#Hammond is
 [ a chart of key parameters which says the player roll is 10.125
 [ inches wide, 120 holes, for Hammond model BA electronic organ.
 [ Plays two 60-note manuals, no registration controls.  Music adapted
 [ from masters created by Skinner (not from Aeolian recordings).

 [ Kevin McElhone submitted a list of rolls made by Skinner for the
 [ Hammond model BA player organ; see "Residence Player Organ Media"
