Following up on Jim Canavan's comments in MMD 96.09.20 on Gulbransen
Instruction rolls. Last night I got out the set I bought to go with my
Gulbransen player and found the following.

The rolls are in QRS embossed black boxes. They have blue on white QRS
tabs and gold colored metal flanges. The set shows use. The boxes are
scuffed to the cardboard, Two rolls are in very good condition, one has
a wrinkled leader and wrinkles at the end, and the last had a section
about 4" by 6" missing which I replaced with new paper.

The labels say: Gulbransen The Registering Piano, Instruction roll No.
1, Teaching Proper Use of Accenting Levers, THIRD EDITION, Martin
Method, Gulbransen - Dickenson Co. 1923. The box labels are faded but
the roll labels are bright orange with black lettering.

The rolls have the following practice tunes:

No. 1, Teaching the Proper Use of Accenting Levers

My Wild Irish Rose¶
Sweet Adeline¶
Roll end stamped Copyright 1923

No. 2. Teaching the Proper Use of Tempo Lever

Minuet¶

No. 4, Teaching the Proper Use of Sustaining Lever

Those of you who have six roll sets, how are the two practice rolls
labled and what are the tunes on those rolls?
