X-Y Laser Cutting Machine To Make Music Rolls
By Bill Budenholzer

[ Who will pay one hundred dollars for a recut 88-note roll?
 [ The price reflects the amount of "shop time" (to pay the mortgage
 [ on the laser machine). -- Robbie

The cost of laser cutters is coming down.  $3000 will get a basic
system.  3D printers are now less than $1000.  With interest in laser
cutting rising, and the cost of key components like the laser coming
down, the cost of a "home" system may be in that same range in a few
years.

Resources available online and in the "Maker" community could allow
someone with basic metalworking and woodworking skills to make one on
their own.
