No, no, no.  I mean, how the hell are these guys in Venezuela going to
collect the right rolls and the right pianos, and record the music.
I'm not one for sending my  rolls to strangers.  Are they going to
travel to remote locations to record the rolls where the proper piano
exists?

Who knows?

 [ !Qien sabes!  I haven't heard a thing since the first letter from

 [ In the meantime we are concentrating on (1) completing the list
 [ of all piano rolls played by Carreno, and (2) locating said rolls.
 [ (Thanks for telling us of yours, too -- we'll be in contact.)
 [ It appears that the T-100 Welte rolls, and the Duo-Arts too, will be
 [ readily available.  The challenge now is to locate the rare Philipps
 [ and Hupfeld rolls.
 [
 [ As Sr. Francisco noted, a suitable piano doesn't exist in Caracas,
 [ and so the recording might be made in Germany or North America
 [ or Australia...  ?Qien sabes?   We haven't any answers yet.
