Database of Hupfeld Piano Rolls
By Robert Senior

Dear fellow enthusiasts,  I recently asked for co-operation from
subscribers in helping me compile a database of all 73- and 88-note
Hupfeld piano rolls.  The response was excellent and fellow collectors
have been both generous in lending me catalogues and friendly in
offering advice.

Most 73-note rolls were also issued as 88-note rolls and Animatic rolls
issued as T(riphonola) and S(pezial) rolls used the same numbers as the
regular rolls.  In all I have recorded over 11,000 titles and I think
that only about 600 are missing from a full catalogue.

Many rolls seem to be only recorded in minor lists or supplements and I
am trying to track these down.  I am filling some gaps by perusing
private collections, auction lists, etc., but it is only by finding
these lists that I can get closer to a complete list.  Below is a list
of the main catalogues/lists that I have been using and, should anyone
have even a single sheet not listed here, then I will be pleased to
hear from you.

Best wishes,
Bob Senior
