Seek Music Rolls for Kimball Soloist Pipe Organ
By Ed Copeland

I am seeking rolls for a Kimball Soloist pipe organ, or MIDI files
of same.  I am aware that there are MIDI files of original rolls for
things like Aeolian Duo-Art pipe organs, and for some of the large
orchestrions available.  Does anyone know of someone who is doing this
for the Soloist?

I know that the time of the Soloist was short, and it was gone after
Kimball obtained the rights for the Welte system.  I have been told
of one that needs to be saved, and was asked about the possibility of
finding more rolls for it, so I need to explore this area a little more
to give an accurate answer.

I was corresponding with someone from here about Soloists, but I have
since lost that email address.  I know much about the mechanics of
these instruments, but lack knowledge of how much music is/was
available.  Any help in this area would be of great help.
