Hi MMD,  I have been searching for many months now for a supplier
of piano roll pull tabs.  It would seem that this would be an easy
item to find.  Not so!  I have pursued multiple leads all to no avail.
Phone calls to logical suppliers result in messages left on answering
machines that are never returned.  Multiple emails likewise are never
answered.

Specifically, I'm interested in the D-ring style pull tab that we
can add to our other roll repair supplies on our eBay site.  I am not
a competitor for anyone producing piano rolls.  At one time Player
Piano Company (PPCo) produced an acceptable white vinyl pull tab.
I located the manufacturer of these but they were not interested in
doing business.

There are at least half a dozen producers of piano rolls that are
using D-ring style pull tabs.  Does anyone know the actual manufacturer
of these?   I have located a source for piano roll cardboard tubes and
have a temporary supply of roll paper.  Any help alone these lines
would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Tom Hutchinson
