I am assuming this is the right tune, not having listened to any organ recordings lately, but the Ampico roll, 59831 Turkish March pb Olga Samaroff is a pretty good arrangement. With a little tape over the end notes of an 88-note tracker bar.....

Hi,¶ It's me again. A friend of mind went to a lot of trouble a few years ago to contact 3M and find out the very best tape to use to repair rolls. The verdict was good old Scotch Magic Mending Tape #810. Adhesive and substrate both claim to be long life. I've used it on a number of rolls and it see...

I have another rather obscure bit of Deagan information. An MBSI member in the Southeast owns a fine sounding machine billed as "the World's Only Piano-Vibraharp." Quoting from the insert in a tape of this machine: "The Deagan Piano-Vibraharp is neither a piano nor a vibraharp. Named by its inventor...

When reading all the comments regarding media that contains information, one important thing stroke me when I read about the magnetic media, as audio tape or floppy disks. One should remember that even if the magnetic material on those media could be made to last forever, the magnetic orientation of...

I have recently acquired a notebook full of literature for the Superscope/Marantz Pianocorder system. It includes a cassette tape catalog, Installation and Field Service Manual, a set of Service Bulletins from 00001 to 00021, Circuit Description and Schematic Diagrams, and the User Installation Manu...

I noticed quite a few inquiries for recordings of band organs on the MMD recently. I have over 80 different titles of Band Organ, Orchestrion, Music Box, etc. on tape & Cd's. Anyone wishing a copy of the listing can send $1.00 to me at:¶ Nancy Fratti, PO BOX 210, Whitehall, NY 12887-0210. My e-mail ...

To glue the _hollow_ sharps, white glue or carpenter's glue is poured to 1/3 (or so) of the hollow. The sharp keytop is then secured to the keystick with masking tape so the glue will flow down and secure the sharp in place. Allow it to dry overnight. Gluing plastic tops to naturals: PVC-E adhesive ...

(En venlig hilse til Thomas Henden deroppe i Norge !) Personally I like L. Douglas Henderson's arranging style very much. He sells two (maybe more) tape cassettes of his own Pianola renditions of some of his music rolls. Thomas Hendon could order one of those cassettes and find out first-hand whethe...

My interest in scanning music rolls goes back to 1973, when I built a "reader" for transferring music rolls to tape. The resulting tapes were used with a device called the IMI CC-3 Cassette Converter, which played Ampico instruments from cassettes. At that time, I did a number of experiments to dete...

As an archivist I'd be doubtful about having any elastic compound in contact with paper for a long time. I would prefer to use unbleached cotton tape to tie round rolls with the minimum risk of contamination. Adam Green

I have now found out that I am scheduled to be on the FX cable network program "Personal FX" airing March 27, if anyone cares to tape it for me. Now you can see for yourself just how dumb one can look on _live_ television (like I need the help). Don Teach dat-smc@juno.com [ Congratulations, Don, I'm...

•Just a note to let MMDers know that I've made a good contact in England (a member of the Fair Organ Preservation Society) and we are exchanging CD and Tape recordings of various band organs, etc. with each other! I've got over 20 new titles! Some of the titles are not yet here, but should be within...

•Hi everyone: This may seem like a silly question, but I am trying to mend some torn rolls and was wondering should the tape be placed on the back side of the roll paper or the top side. My opinion is the back side but haven't a clue which is right. If put on the top side there is always the possibi...

Never use the back side. I did so decades ago when I first got into players but they are now unplay...

•This week I put together on one cassette the 34 Wurlitzer band organ tunes (32 from style 165 rolls and 2 from style 180 rolls, because I had room on the tape for the 180 band organ tunes too) that I asked your help in identifying. I will be mailing out the cassettes to those who volunteered their ...

•Regarding my recent request to find two old records from the Eakins museum, I wanted to thank the seven people who responded. One person had the two records and sold them to me but all the others offered to copy the albums and send me a tape or disc. The person who referred me to the Miles museum a...

•You asked if reproducing rolls can be played on a regular player piano. I have played Ampico rolls on a pumper and Duo Art pianos (in non Duo Art mode) and vice versa many times with no problems. What you need to do is to take some tape, such as Scotch Magic Transparent Tape, and cover the holes on...
