Perforating Music Rolls for French Orchestrion
By Philip Jamison

Can anyone punch 65-note piano rolls?  I wish to make some rolls for
my French accordion-jazz orchestrion.  It uses 11.25" width music rolls
with standard 65-note hole spacing, the same format as pin-end 65-note
piano rolls.  If I can get some tunes arranged or copied from old
rolls, I'd like to find someone who could punch them.  This machine
plays the same rolls as the "Accordeo-Boy" orchestrion which has a
life-size automaton player.

Thanks,
