Banjorchestra Rolls (96.09.21)
By Stephen Kent Goodman

In a message dated 96-09-22 01:19:36 EDT, you write:

> Dave's Ramey, both Jr. and Sr., were there with their Banjorchestra.
> This replicates, with some improvements, an instrument once offered by
> the Encore Automatic Banjo Co. and includes a self playing banjo,
> piano, bells, and all the usual percussion.

Does anyone know the type of roll used fot this?  I know that
Connorized cut the original BanjOrchestra roll in the 1910s (playing
banjo,  piano, tambourine,  triangle,  castanets and a small bass drum
or tom-tom) -  but imagine that they are way too scarce to be used in a
replica instrument.  A special scale?
