Aeolian Master Rolls by Clyde Ridge
By Andrew Koledin

Mr. Tuttle referred me to your website.  I have two odd music rolls;
both have continuous round holes along both sides, and have many
correction marks on the paper.  I am guessing it is a hand-made rough
draft roll.  On one roll is the number 4123, but no title.  They are
Aeolian rolls.

A third roll has a message written on it: "To Mary with Best regards,
Clyde Ridge".  Might this unmarked roll also be one of his?
