Skinner Aeolian-Hammond Rolls
By Ken Rosen

While I know little about Aeolian-Hammond Rolls, if I recall correctly,
they only play the keys and pedals and do not work the presets,
drawbars or swell pedal.  Therefore, I'll bet that they are very
similar to 116-note Aeolian rolls (58 notes each manual instead of 60),
which could then be used as masters for additional AH titles without
problems of incompatibility.  Of course, I could also be off my rocker!

I have a 9-channels-per-inch perforator and could make you some masters
that you could then transfer to Aeolian-Hammond spacing.  Get in touch
for more details.

P.S.  On a strictly personal level, I would find it thrilling to see an
automatic instrument exhibit in Israel.  But, if you can, try to locate
it somewhere that it won't get stoned by outraged Chasids, or worse,
blown to smithereens by some suicidal maniac.  Just trying to be
cautious...
