A Request For Info On PianoLodeon Rolls
By David Green, forwarded by Frank Himpsl

Hi Robbie,

I received a request today for information about pianolodeon rolls, which I
don't think I've ever heard of before.    Here is the request, in case anyone
on the MMD circuit has run into these before and can shed light on this.

Many thanks and all the best!

Frank
