•Dear Friends, Those of you involved with the acquisition process of a PowerRoll manufactured by Larry Broadmoore and were fortunate to obtain this unit, will either enjoy using it or are having 'difficulties' with it. I have an operational unit that has been going strong for more than three years n...

•I am relatively new to MMD, having just recently inherited a beautiful 1917 Steinway Duo-Art grand. I have been enjoying reading the archives and the daily posts; what an intriguing and interesting hobby! I am intrigued by the PowerRoll, and would love to obtain one, working or not. If you have one...

•I would be very interested in more details about the PowerRoll that was discussed in recent issues of MMD. Are pictures available? Exactly how is it attached to an existing mechanical instrument? What is the projected cost and schedule for availability? I would also be very interested in details fo...

•In response to John Breen's questions regarding the PowerRoll and transcription of rolls: We are currently preparing a brochure about the PowerRoll and will be posting its contents on our web site, http://www.erolls.com/ (Right now only a poor copy of our ad soon to run in the MBSI and AMICA bullet...

•Hi All, Perhaps my understanding of exactly how the PowerRoll system works is incorrect. I was under the impression that it is a device that is placed over the tracker bar of a normal pneumatic player piano. The signals which trigger the air valves that open and close the holes in the tracker bar c...

•[ John and Larry Broadmoore exchanged letters about the PowerRoll. At 09:43 7/19/98 -0700, Larry Broadmoore wrote: Dear John, Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. One misleading tendency is to group PowerRoll with solenoid player systems which push piano keys with solenoid plungers, which has the ef...

•I would like to thank Michael Ryan for his article about WindPlay, which I asked Richard Brandle to design specifically for inclusion with the PowerRoll electrical music roll for pneumatic instruments, and which he so kindly agreed to do for us. We decided that the program is so spectacular, as it ...

•I have a new web site that is almost like the old one, but there are some new easy to use, free samples of music files for use with WindPlay and the PowerRoll. There are also MIDI files that are emulations of what WindPlay will do for your MIDI player. The MIDI files will play with just a click. Th...

•Want to buy yourself a nice Christmas gift? I'm selling my PowerRoll setup. It is in like new condition and still even has the plastic wrap on the brass nameplate. The PowerRoll was updated around August 2000. The only reason I'm selling it is, I've sold my beloved Knabe Ampico B and don't have a n...

•I am selling a used PowerRoll (the tracker-bar mounted model) which I bought a few months ago on eBay from a fellow MMD'er. These are no longer easy to obtain and relatively few were made so I jumped on the opportunity of getting one. The previous owner had used it for a couple of years in a whole ...

•Hello, Is it possible there could be a Broadmoore PowerRoll out there someplace for sale? I would be interested. Phil Kaiser uwho2u@aol.com.geentroep [delete ".geentroep" to reply]

•Hi Group, In preparation for hosting the November meeting of the MBSI Southern California Chapter I have been going over my instruments. The Broadmoore PowerRoll has been getting sicker and sicker for some time. It is now skipping blocks of music as it plays. Does anyone know if Larry Broadmoore is...

•Hello Jack; I just read your MMD message. I have a Larry Broadmoore PowerRoll mounted under my piano rather than in the spool drawer. It has hardly been used. I have it connected to a laptop computer. The software plus MIDI music files are from a Phillips-Ampico CD from Australia. Perhaps you would...

•I am seeking a PowerRoll, manufactured by Larry Broadmoore a few years ago. Please indicate condition, if known, especially any faults it might have. Philip Leahy

•Philip Leaky recently posted a message in which he wanted to get in contact with someone that still had a PowerRoll. I am one of those (unlucky people that bought one, and I must say it has worked for me flawlessly during the time before I installed Spencer Chase's E-Roll system. That too works and...

•I have been sort of quiet lately. I'm still keeping up with my projects, which are considerable. I finished the theater organ installation last October and heard the instrument play on Christmas Eve. What a thrill to hear something like that! Since then my search for new work has been not too produ...

•Hello everyone, I'm writing today in search of parts for a Broadmoore PowerRoll. We were recently given one with a piano donated to the DeBence collection. It is incomplete and in need of a power supply interface. I tried contacting Broadmoore Piano Company but that led to an endless string of emai...
