Seek D-ring Tabs for Piano Rolls
By Piotr Barcz

I'm writing this to warn anyone who received laser cut rolls from me
that the QRS tabs I used are hit-and-miss with quality and I've had
a few tear apart on me already.

If anyone knows where I can get those tabs that have a small end piece
you wrap around a D-ring, and where I can get those D-rings too, then
please let me know.

I also need to warn people who have my rolls that I had several get
ruined (inexplicably randomly, too) by humidity, so if you have my
rolls, and _especially_ rolls from the old batches before I realigned
the perforator, then please keep them away from places where they might
absorb moisture.

I had several rolls expand enough to catch the flange of the take-up
spool and one roll shrunk by an inch making it completely unplayable.
I've no idea how that even happened because other rolls on the same
shelf right next to it are fine.

The rolls that are fine still play fine, though, so at least I can
give that much good news.
