 [ Translation from French by Robbie (abridged):

Bonjour!  This morning, while browsing a flea market in the
Bruxelloise district, I acquired 12 pianola rolls in hardback
boxes bearing the inscription "LE PLEYELA".

These rolls are of Audran, Messenger, Beethoven, Saint Saens,
Christine, Bizet, Borodine, Tosti, Chanaud; all carry the marque
of the Pleyel house and the inside and outside label of origin:
"Pleyela, 20 avenue de l'Opera, Paris".

Would you be possibly be interested in the acquisition of these
pieces?  I hold some digital photos to your disposition in case
you would want some.

I thank you for your attention.

Cordially
Fabrice Kerrad / Brussels

 [ Monsieur Kerrad agreed to place his announcement in MMDigest, and
 [ he sent me images of the rolls.  The labels indicate "88 notes".
 [ Some of the boxes appear slightly damaged by moisture, but the
 [ rolls inside appear to be in very good condition.  -- Robbie
