•I was intrigued by TJ Fisher's request for information on tunes from "Show Boat" which are listed on a Caliola roll. I have a great love for musicals and have been in three productions of "Show Boat" (among numerous others) in Australia over the last 55 years. TJ Fisher is correct when he says that...

•The tune is in the Dick Hyman comprehensive collection of Scott Joplin music. In the liner notes written by Rudi Blesh, it says the tune was discovered in 1970 on a piano roll and transcribed to sheet music for examination by ragtime experts. The piano roll credits Scott Joplin as the composer. No ...

•HI all, One of my toy train friends showed me this auction on eBay, so I watched it, thinking it might be an interesting roll to have. Well, the danged _single_ roll sold for $237.50 plus $4.00 shipping. Any idea why the price paid was so high, and have you heard of many or any rolls selling for th...

•The march "Triumphant Lindbergh" was composed by Harry J. Lincoln, who is pretty famous and well represented on band organ rolls. So it is surprising that Burl Updyke didn't find any information about the tune. "Triumphant Lindbergh" was copyrighted January 7, 1928, and is one of the eight Lincoln ...

•Skip Klosz mentions that he couldn't identify the selections on the "A-Whizzer" medley roll on my web site. In fact, the song information can be viewed inside the MIDI file if you download the vanBasco Karaoke Player from http://www.vanbasco.com/ A lot of extra information will be viewable like the...

•Hi Group, I took another look at the Pianino roll lists after reading Don Teach's posting [110805 MMDigest]. I see that all small core rolls up to the 800 series contain 6 tunes. I also see that all of the 800 series and one 900 series roll on the lists contain 5 tunes. From this it appears that Wu...

•Ken Marts asked about nickelodeons made in Las Vegas. The DeBence Museum has a Muzelle nickelodeon made by Resource West, Inc., on Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas. It is based on a Sojin (Daewoo) model DU131 piano which has a MUSE piano action made in Saito, Japan, and a stained glass upper front #1025 ...

•Hello MMD. In response to Charles Davis' query, I dug out my only aeroplane related roll and gave it a spin. It's an Aeolian Themodist Metrostyle 65-note roll, No. 100692, and is called "The Flight of the Aeroplane, Polka Volante", Op. 7, composed by Voteller, and copyrighted in 1911. It's quite a ...

•Hello! A friend of mine recently purchased a fair sized collection of 88-note rolls. Mixed in the collection were a number of QRS rolls in the most drab/flimsy of boxes that were completely devoid of any of the usual alligator or textured paper covering that characterized the early QRS boxes. All o...

•Hi all, I identified tune 8 on roll 6521 as "Muriel Waltzes" by Joseph M. Daly. I got some Wurlitzer PianOrchestra music roll scans, and when going through them I noticed this one song and knew immediately that the song labeled "Muriel Waltz" was the same song as the waltz on 6521. The labeling was...

•The topic has come up again! Now, if all those roll scanners hoarding their collections would make them available on paper, Yes, I'd pay for them! I've been droning on about custom laser recutting for about 16 years now. If someone could produce cut-to-order copies of standard 88-note, Ampico and D...
