Pierre Eich Solophone Rolls of the 1930s
By Dave Bowers

Gustave Bruder (Waldkirch, Germany) was arranging orchestrion melodies
into the early 1930s with great stuff.  I have never heard a Pierre Eich
Solophone (unrelated to Bruder, and made in Belgium), but these were
made into the late 1930s.  Wonder what the arrangements sound like?
