FS: Restored Piano Rolls At My Shop
By Tom Hutchinson

MMD,  This is a marketing experiment and will be an unusual sale
in that the buyer must come to my shop facility to see the available
rolls.

All these approximately 2500+ rolls have been restored.  That is,
when necessary all repairs such as new flanges, leaders, pull tabs,
boxes and new labels have been used.  The John Miller roll Label
program has been used to create completely new authentic labels for
each end of the box and one for the leader where necessary.  All roll
boxes are displayed for examination on shelves, most at eye level.

They are organized at this time by brand only.  For example there
are approximately 800 QRS, 150 US, 95 Vocalstyle, 90 Imperial, 85
Supertone, 25 International and 20 Melodee.  Other brands include
Universal, Majestic, Atlas, Rythmodik, Connorized, Globe, Jewel,
Pianostyle and many others.  All are word rolls.  There are also
approximately 1000 instrumental rolls.  All rolls are of the 88-note
type.

There is a newly tuned, great playing electrified player right in the
shop so that you may test any roll you wish to consider.  There are
presently no lists of these rolls.  I'm sorry but I do not have the
time to look for individual rolls and would only considered shipping
for large purchases.  Prices vary from $2.50 for the older lesser known
to approximately 4.50 for more recent rolls.  Discounts will be given
for quantity purchases.

I'm centrally located in the state of Missouri, 11 miles north of I-70
and Columbia, Missouri.  Email me for directions if you happen to be
traveling across the US on I-70 and want to stop by.

Regards
Tom Hutchinson
