Wurlitzer 5-Tune APP Changer Roll Subscription #3
By Glenn Thomas

The first two recut sets of 20 Wurlitzer Automatic Player Piano 5-tune
changer Rolls (APP) sold out quickly.  We are doing one more, final set
of 20 rolls by subscription.  Most of these rolls will be very popular:
late 1920s through mid-30s rolls, numbered in the 1900 series or with
a serial number beginning with "0", such as 0134.

These are the best APP rolls Wurlitzer produced, with a combination of
Wurlitzer in-house arrangements and some QRS transcriptions.  Most of
the Wurlitzer arrangements activated the bell register, and some, the
xylophone register.

We are still compiling the list to recut, so no specific list is yet
available, but we can promise none have been recut before.  Interested
participants will have the list before a final commitment is made.

There are only 14 sets of rolls available.  When they are sold out,
there will be no more.  Subscribers will be added in the order received.
Once all 14 sets have been subscribed, others will be placed on the
waiting list.

As in the first two projects, these are professionally recut by Play-Rite
Music Rolls, Turlock, Calif.  Each roll has an original-style Wurlitzer
label, a red-cloth leader with a metal bar, an original-style Wurlitzer
box with spacers to allow the metal bar to fit in the box, and is
perforated on quality wax-impregnated paper.

The price for the set of 20 is unchanged from the last set:  $1,500,
plus $100 packaging and shipping = $1,600.  $800 is due when we advise
the final list and receive your conformation of subscription.  The $800
balance is due prior to shipping.  We expect to finalize the project
before the end of this year, with perforation and shipping during the
latter part of first quarter of 2018.

Please advise if you would like to commit to a subscription now, or
wait until the final list of rolls is available.  Questions gladly
answered.
