Seek Popper Konzertist Orchestrion Rolls
By Wayne Finger

My Popper orchestrion is starting to make beautiful music again.  It is
a Popper Konzertist, currently playing piano and percussion.  In another
few months it will also be playing metal bells and two ranks of pipes.

If anyone has any extra Popper rolls to sell, please contact me.  I also
need two empty Popper spools.  I have punchings for two rolls which just
need the Popper spools.  So if you have a couple of Popper rolls with
brittle or damaged paper, can you share the wooden spools?

Thanks,
Wayne Finger
