 [ "The most noticeable thing is that the rolls are 29.8 cm (11.75")
 [ wide. Even setting the roller bar at maximum, it doesn't fit at all!"
In case the question persists: The roll is a music roll for a Römhildt
Virtuola. The notice, "HS Schutzmarke", declares that "HS" is a licensed
trademark. See:
