By Stephen Kent Goodman

> Dave's Ramey, both Jr. and Sr., were there with their Banjorchestra.
> This replicates, with some improvements, an instrument once offered by
> the Encore Automatic Banjo Co. and includes a self playing banjo,
> piano, bells, and all the usual percussion.

Does anyone know the type of roll used fot this? I know that Connorized cut the original BanjOrchestra roll in the 1910s (playing banjo, piano, tambourine, triangle, castanets and a small bass drum or tom-tom) - but imagine that they are way too scarce to be used in a replica instrument. A special scale?
