65-note Player: Your Opinion Needed
By Joseph Osborne

I have a customer with a beautiful Sterling 65-note player, ca. 1912.
It is a very well made piano in very good condition.  We are trying to
decide whether and how to rebuild it.

I am looking for sources of 65-note rolls.  There don't seem to be
many.  Would it be better to swap in an 88-note tracker bar and add a
tracking mechanism? Only 65 notes would play, but that would still be a
lot of the music, especially for older songs.
