Wurlitzer Pianino at Debence Music Museum
By Martin Anderson

Greetings,  We at the Debence Music Museum in Franklin, PA, now have
a 1904 Wurlitzer Pianino fully restored and it sounds wonderful.  The
roll we have (the _only_ one we have) appears to have a hole punched
for some kind of percussion.  There is a hole cut in the right top side
of the machine and also a hole in the tracker support board that looks
factory and not added by someone later.  Bowers' Encyclopedia doesn't
seem to have any reference to a drum or percussion attachment.  Any
ideas?

Also the museum is looking to purchase any rolls available for the
machine.  Thanks,

Martin Anderson
