Paul Hello All,
I have been away for a few days and just came across the $80A rolls listed on ebay .. but the one that really intrigues me is the xmas roll in a batch of 54 rolls currently for sale that quote"has been cut in two pieces as it originally was to big to play as one" ..... Diane

Hi Diane,
People did and do weird stuff, it's true that some spoolboxs cannot cope with the larger medley rolls, particularly the more modern aeolian players. So I'm not surprised. I have one roll that at some point in its career was spliced in the centre with a completely different roll...keeps you on your toes I guess :)

I just love the terminology on this one

"It has lots of black keys and lots of white keys which have turned a shade of yellow. When you push some of the keys a musical sound sometimes responds from inside the big wooden bit."

I think the starting bid is a bit high.....
please give me some money with the thing and I might consider....

I'm always suspect of anything advertised as 'beautifully solid' does that mean its so totally jammed up it no longer moves? :)

It's not at all unusual to see piano rolls referred to as 'scrolls' on eBay, but here's a totally new one. How about 'scrawls'?!

A pianola scrawl? Doesn't she mean "metrostyle line" surely?
The piano shown is one of those very fine Rachals pianos from the pre-WW1 range of Kastner pianos. The case looks good and there is a copy of the original ad in the Kastner brochure downloadable on my website. It might even be a super rare dual-tracker Kastonome for all we know.... Any fancy enquiring a little more perhaps?

A followup to the roll "signed by Waltz - he is the person who played the roll'...
one of the other brands is Imperial Songrecord the song on that roll is Somewhere in France sung by one step.
And in one of the seller's other items..
For the brand Super tone deluxe is the song Indian love call sung by fox trot. http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Player-piano-rolls_W0QQitemZ280194823041QQihZ018QQcategoryZ2383QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I have a large selection of old pianola music sheets .Rollers have solid wood ends all are boxed ,and for their age they are in very good condition ,The one i am selling ,is ETUDE DE CONCERT op 35 MAX DOTCELL
Could this possibly be same MaxDotcell as seems to have been a nom-de-plume for MacDowell? Anyone know? The price is a very reasonable (at least it is in fantasy-land) GBP£9.99.
