Sources of Player Piano Rolls
By Dan Wilson, London

Robbie - I'm only just back from vacation, so only just seen this -

Why does Ed Gaida say (980701 MMDigest):

> La unica fabrica de rollos para pianolas in los Estados Unidos
> es ORS.

(and why "ORS" and not QRS ?)

 [ Neither my spell-checker nor Ed's caught the error!  -- Robbie

"The only maker of rolls for pianolas in the USA is ORS" !

"La Pianola" in Spanish (but "le pianola" in French !) means pedal
player-piano just as it does here, and there are more than a dozen
roll makers worldwide including a few in Europe, as you well know.

Could you possibly get this corrected ?

Dan Wilson, London, - back from Spain (but Spanish not good enough to
do this myself)

 [ Perhaps Ed assumed, plausibly, that the customer in Spain wants
 [ contemporary songs for La Pianola.  QRS can provide such.  Please
 [ tell us about other sources, Dan.  -- Robbie
