Wurlitzer APP Newly Arranged Rolls & Rare Recuts
By Glenn Thomas

We have produced 13 terrific newly-arranged Wurlitzer Automatic Player
Piano (APP) 5-tune changer-style music rolls from our best and most
gifted arrangers: Andy Park, Mikey Mills, Adam Swanson, and Domingo
Mancuello. These 13 rolls are part of the limited-edition 20-roll set.
All 20 labels are shown in two files included here, and audio samples
of the music played on a restored Wurlitzer LX orchestrion and more
information are shown here:

Also, another file included here is the pending announcement with
more information.

We have also chosen to recut 7 rare, "ragtime era" original Wurlitzer
very early rolls. Most of these rolls are over 100 years old, very
brittle, on old Wurlitzer red or yellow paper, and in rough condition.
Several are the only known copies. Most have original labels. The music
is now preserved and can be enjoyed by others.

In recent years, we have produced 131 Wurlitzer 5-tune "changer" APP
rolls in five separate subscription projects. All have sold out. Now,
by popular request, we collaborated with talented arrangers to produce
a variety of "contemporary" or period music that is simply some of
the best new music released in decades on any major coin-op music roll
platform. The majority of these tunes have been requested by our
regular customers. You will think you are listening to a 1928 Wurlitzer
arranger transported to today. It is just fantastic!

Many regular customers have already subscribed to the project, but we
have several 20-roll sets left. They are formatted for Wurlitzer APP
instruments with a six-roll changer, red-cloth leader, and wire bar
end. Do you have a long (non-changer) frame or a Wurlitzer Photoplayer?
We can swap for the proper cores and include a V-tab, D-ring leader.
MIDI Files? We have those too. Inquire.

The rolls are professionally perforated on quality wax-impregnated paper
by Play-Rite Music Rolls, Turlock, California, in a Wurlitzer-style box
with a heavy-stock tune card.

This 20-roll set is expected to ship around the end of 2021. The
subscription price is $1,775 + $100 packaging and shipping = $1,875.
Your $500 deposit now secures your order after confirmation, with
balance due at shipping time. Payment is by PayPal preferred (friends
and family option for no fees) to email address below. Checks and
other payment methods also acceptable.

We try to describe everything accurately, but a roll substitution or
other glitch might arise. The shipping date is our best estimate and
could change. We communicate updates.

Questions gladly answered.
