Recutting Project: Wurlitzer 165, APP & Caliola
By Matthew Caulfield

Who uses Wurlitzer APP, Caliola, 165 rolls?

I would like to get the names and email addresses of everybody who uses
the 9-5/8" wide Wurlitzer rolls.  Those are style 165 band organ rolls,
65-note Automatic Player Piano (APP) rolls, and Caliola rolls.

John Malone (Play-Rite) has said that he could cut Wurlitzer rolls
toward the end of the year, if we can subscribe to the cutting in large
enough quantity to make it worthwhile.

Play-Rite offers a combination of quality and price that no one
currently can meet, let alone beat.  The first step is to poll users
and see what rolls are in demand.  For my part, there are a number of
never-recut original 165 rolls that are good candidates for the
project.

 [ Recutting narrower Wurlitzer formats is probably also feasible,
 [ as long as the channel spacing is 0.1227 inches.  -- Robbie
