Reproducing Piano Rolls of Scott Joplin Rags
By Scott Johnson

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Edward Berlin suggested I write you.  I'm wondering how many
reproducing piano rolls of Scott Joplin rags were made in his
lifetime (I only know of one, a Welte roll of "Maple leaf Rag").

The rollography in David Jasen's new book doesn't answer my question.
Jasen seems to treat the brand names 'Artrio-Angelus' and 'Angelus'
as interchangeable, though the former were reproducing rolls and
the latter weren't.

I'd appreciate any information about the subject you could give me.
Thank you for your time.

Scott Johnson
