Play "A" Rolls on the Orchestrelle
By Tim Trager

Treat your Orchestrelle to some happy music -- pep it up a bit!  Trim
a style "A" nickelodeon roll and play the songs on your Orchestrelle.

A friend of mine did this and the result was very entertaining and
enjoyable.  New "A" rolls with wide perforations are inexpensive and
can be purchased from Dave Miner: http://www.minermfgco.com/index.htm

I can just picture the old Orchestrelle promoter and owner, Mark Twain,
tapping his toe to a good jazzy Capitol arrangement!

Have fun and a Merry Christmas!
