Hi Erik,  I may be wrong, but it sounds like you have an old "push up"
piano player, made right before the big player-piano boom .

I do have some rolls for it if it is a 65 note machine.  Please count
the fingers that contact the keyboard.  The way I see it, you have two
options.  You can still find the 65-note "pin end" rolls, but the music
is very limited.  As far as I know, nobody has made those rolls since
1919.

What I would do if it were mine is to change the roll chucks and
tracker bar to the 88 note format.  The conversion is no big deal.
The notes that are out of range can be 'teed" back to the range if the
player.  Although it plays only 65 notes, it still makes a nice player
set up like that.  You can also enjoy all the "new tunes" by QRS,
BluesTone, George Bogatko, myself (Tempola), Meliora, and some more
that I can't think of right now.  Those machines are pretty rare today,
so I certainly would not do away with it.  Does it still play?

I am forwarding your letter to the Mechanical Music Digest, an e-mail
Automatic Music discussion group that every player owner should get
involved in.  Why don't you e-mail Jody at rollreq@foxtail.com and
subscribe?  Merry Christmas

Dear Sirs,  I have acquired a player-piano machine that wheels over the
keyboard of my piano.  I am told it is from the late 1800's or early
1900's.  It is in good working order but only has one roll.  I have
been unable to find any more since it is a non-standard size.  (Had I
known of the problem I wouldn't have purchased it)

Do you produce any rolls for a player that takes a spool (paper width
only) measuring 13 and 5/16" wide and 14 and 3/4" from tip to tip of
the spool.  It plays a keyboard of a note or two over 5 octaves (43
notes?)  Do you produce any similar roll or do you know of a company
that does?  Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,

Erik Lampi
