Source of QRS Piano Rolls
By Steve Goode

Hello MMDers,  I just received an email from QRS that says:

  "Back in October 2015, you placed an order which included our roll
  #4887 Happy Days Are Here Again.  Unfortunately, we are not able
  to make this roll any longer.  We will take it off your order."

I would think that "Happy Days Are Here Again" would be a popular song
that they could still keep selling.  I also thought that they digitized
all their master rolls back in the 1970s.  Comments??

 [ A production run at the QRS factory was typically 30 or 32 rolls, so
 [ they picked titles that would sell quickly rather than sit on their
 [ shelves for months or years.  I guess "Happy Days..." is no longer
 [ a best seller like is was in the 1930s.  -- Robbie
