Seek Catalog of Aeolian Orchestrelle Rolls
By Hendrik Strengers

Some firms in The Netherlands like C. C. Bender (Amsterdam),
C. F. van der Does (The Hague) and G. A. Goldschmeding (Amsterdam)
had [lending] libraries where you could borrow rolls for some piano
players and the 58-note Aeolian Orchestrelle (for example, Model 750).
I have a lot of papers from the period 1900-1907 with catalog numbers
of Orchestrelle rolls but without the titles of the compositions
played.

There are some catalogues: "Music for the Aeolian Grand, July 1902"
and "Catalogue of 58-note music rolls for the Aeolian and Aeolian
Orchestrelle, January 1924" with only short lists, but my question is,
where can I find a complete survey or catalogue of these Orchestrelle
rolls?

Thanks anyway, best regards from
