Roger,

The Victor Arden version I have of Bye Bye Blackbird is QRS and so are the other ones I like the most so far.

That's sad about the car crash. The man who restored our pianola is a local man who had a piano shop for a few decades and has now retired to just teaching piano and doing piano & pianola repairs. He is an enthusiast too, and a perfectionist, and a very nice man. One of the "old school" of repair people. He and his nephew came up with a brilliant idea to remake one part of the pianola stacks to overcome the problem over glue over the bleed holes from a previously botched repair job. If they had not been able to build the new part then it probably couldn't have been repaired.
