CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA
For anyone who may be interested , i filmed a DA version of this roll on you-tube a few weeks back.Its in 2 parts to keep the quality high. Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JksHM7TVW7k Part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZCzeRGqzik The knocking noise you hear at the beginning has since been rectified , after i removed the pump and did the required adjustments. Daniel :)

OMG Robert! , i cant believe another person has done it the same way!.No wonder these people are selling there players , they cant understand the music been played. Just curious with the "play a record backwards myth" , if you listen to a roll backwards ,will you hear a secret coded message?...... :P

Hmmmm, makes ya wanna dance the watusi....backwards... lol

maybe ask the seller if it's been retubed = maybe they got all the tubes back to front! LOL

See if you can work out what this is! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROLL-OF-MUSIC-FOR-PIANOLA_W0QQitemZ260260740467QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260260740467&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318 I think this is about the fourth roll in the past two weeks which doesn't even mention the music. At least they have the excuse that the leader is missing! It looks like quite a dramatic introduction, whatever it is :) Neil
