Seek Puccini Duo-Art Organ Rolls
By Bob Taylor

I have embarked on an audio recording project and need help.
Currently I am trying to make recordings of all Puccini compositions.
My roll collection is large, but it appears a Puccini fan got to it
before I did!

The missing Puccini rolls are the largest group of missing rolls in
my collection.  If anyone has any of these rolls for sale, please
contact me.  If you don't want to sell me the roll, consider letting
me borrow it so that I might scan it.  I will pay all the postage and
provide a MIDI or audio file of all rolls which I borrow.  Here are
the rolls I seek:

  Puccini Duo-Art Organ Rolls

3193 La Bohème - Selection No. 1
3198 Madam Butterfly - Fantasie, Part 2
3221 Madam Butterfly - Introduction
3255 Madam Butterfly - Cherry Blossoms
3256 Madam Butterfly - The Consul's Interview
3257 Madam Butterfly - Butterfly's Death
3272 Madam Butterfly - The Marriage
3274 Madam Butterfly - Dawn
3279 La Bohème - In the Latin Quarter
3281 Madam Butterfly - Star Spangled Banner Scene
3283 La Bohème - The Studio

Harry Rowe Shelley is the arranger of many of these rolls.  I am also
interested in making audio recordings of all Shelley's organ rolls.
Beside the missing Puccini rolls above, I am missing only one other
of Shelley's rolls.  I would like to acquire it, too:

3298 Hindu [Hindoo] Dance

Thanks in advance to all those who help.
