•I recently found in my collection a Ray Siou recut Ampico multi-tune roll which had a white piece of tape with the number "#62" affixed to the box. Unfortunately Ray never mailed me a label for either the roll or the roll box, so I cannot identify the four tunes: a waltz and three foxtrots. Any hel...

Howdie from Connecticut - While helping my parents record some of their old 33 1/3 albums to cassette tapes this weekend, I ran into an LP album that I forgot they had: "Nickel Music - The Sounds of the Nickelodeons at Paul Eakins' Gay Nineties Village". I remember them getting it in the late '60s, ...

Hi Jody, Most of the workshops in Chicago were taped (other than the ones which were primarily a video to begin with) and these tapes will be available to MBSI members for a fee, which has been $20. I believe. If anyone would like more information about tapes of this year's or past workshops, please...

•To MMD Readers: Audio recordings are on their way! Helen has already taped some, for Bruce Shute (the restorer of the Aeolian) and others. We will arrange copies (audio cassette), and post to Jody for conversion and circulation. I am too far away from the technology to get the recordings into compu...

•Dear All, does any of you here know where I can get CD's or tapes of self-playing carillons? I would be very grateful any of you could help. Thanks Ben Jackson Nottingham, UK

•Can anybody tell me about "De Arabier"? Has any of the earlier Phillips LP's or tapes been put on compact disc, or any new re-recordings? Thank you Roger Desouches

•Hi Everyone, This is another input for converting old records or audio tapes to WAV or MP3 files. I bought a very good turntable from BSW http://bswusa.com/ for purpose of converting my collection (hoard) of 78, 45 and 33-1/3 rpm records to WAV files as soon as I had found software to do so. BSW of...

•Hi MMDr's, I have a library of Pianocorder cassette tapes and was wondering if anyone knows how, or has the facility, to convert them to 3.5" floppy diskette or to CD? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Many thanks, Steve Greatrex Plymouth, UK steve@polvellan.freeserve.co.uk [ Visit http://dp...

•I recently acquired a batch of Aeolian 58-note rolls that have very curious long, slowly tapered leaders with unusual tabs. They do not bear the usual Aeolian Grand labels, but appear to be factory cut. They play magnificently on a Style W Orchestrelle. The orchestration is wonderful. The prior own...

•Hi, I have 72 reel-to-reel 2-track tapes of the series "Keyboard Immortals Play Again - In Stereo". The tapes are in good shape and are from 1977 and '78. I'm asking $150 for the lot.

•> My 20-note Hofbauer always plays one note even when the tracker bar > is taped over. Did you regulate the valve correctly? If the valve screw is completely shut (screwed in), then the note may play even with a taped-over tracker bar hole (as no air can go below the membrane and lift it to close t...

Robin, BOTH of course!! (Wisenheimer...) BTW, I just use regular old green Scotch tape, which comes off very cleanly every time. I clean my tracker bar regularly with Never-Dull, maybe that keeps the tape from sticking too much. The tape gets put on/taken off a half dozen times per week, until after...
