Reversible Music Roll
By Kathleen Hiigel

One of the lots of random eBay rolls I bought awhile back included a
roll that had somehow been re-rolled the wrong way.  The result was
that the bass and treble were swapped.  It was playable like that,
and the result was pretty interesting!

I was able to get the paper rolled back on in the proper direction,
and now the roll plays normally.

[ T'would be very interesting if spliced as a Moebius strip ...! [ -- Robbie
