Hi John and the group,

I rebuilt a one of a kind rig a few years back that used similar
rolls.  The piano case was extra tall to accommodate a small set of
vibes set in above the piano.  It was Austrian made as I recall.  The
roll had 4 selections on it and they were all polka like tunes.  The
perforations along the edges turned the vibes on and off as well as
some limited expression.  It was a nightmare to rebuild and move!!
