Dear Mr. Cottle:  Your request for information will appear in the
Mechanical Music Digest for 2 Jan 1997, and the readers have been asked
to respond to you directly.

There is no evidence in the Ampico and Welte books that artist Gitta
Gradova recorded for the other piano roll companies.  Rolls A-49 and
68650 were re-cut by Ray Siou, therefore originals still exist
somewhere of those rolls, at least.  A huge collection of Duo-Art rolls
is at International Piano Archives at Maryland (IPAM) -- write to

    IPAM, Music Library, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
    attn: Mr. Don Manildi

If you are unable to obtain original rolls, perhaps the owners would
lend the originals for transcription to computer file, from which a
duplicate roll can be perforated, or the data can be converted to a
Midi file for performance on a modern Midi instrument.  I can provide
more information about these processes if you wish.

Best regards, Robbie Rhodes
