Unusual German "HS" Piano Roll 298 mm Wide
By Claudia Nauheim

[ Ref. Bob Yoder in 180810 MMdigest:
 [ https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/201808/2018.08.10.02.html 
 [ "The most noticeable thing is that the rolls are 29.8 cm (11.75")
 [ wide. Even setting the roller bar at maximum, it doesn't fit at all!"

In case the question persists: The roll is a music roll for a Römhildt
Virtuola. The notice, "HS Schutzmarke", declares that "HS" is a licensed
trademark. See:
