Introduction
By Perry Youngblood

I'm delighted to be on your list.  I just received back from a complete 
restoration an 88-key player (Melodigrand).  After waiting 18 months, I was 
delighted with the result.  So now, I'm looking for sources of rolls.  We 
inherited about 250 with the piano. Ive ordered catalogs from QRS and 
Play-Rite.

I recently had a fascinating phone conversation with Rich Groman of Bethlehem 
PA who makes rolls.  He has the roll-making equipment used until 1941 by 
Aolian, as well as their masters.  He makes mostly reproducing rolls, but will 
make 88-key rolls when he's not busy, he says.  I'm looking forward to going 
over to visit his shop.

I would also be appreciative if someone could recommend a book or two on 
player repair and maintenance.¶
