Hi Red Slider and others,
If you are still out there months later you will poss be interested in the following.
Just got box of 50 older player piano rolls on eBay. One roll was in the wrong box but the stamped title on roll itself was so faded I could only make out "Remember". Had a few like that before so I looked to see if any lyrics. First line was "History in every century. . ." which when googled lead me here.
Haven't unrolled totally and my player is currently dismantled for repairs so don't know how it sounds. Just thought you might like to know all of the rolls are at least from 40's or older, a few are from 1917. SO, this must be an original from 1941. I think it may be a QRS roll #7593 but haven't researched yet.
When I get my player working again I can try to post what it sounds like if anyone is interested. I may consider selling it but since it is in fair condition it wouldn't be much. I have not sold any rolls yet, still want to hear them before deciding.
Best RAGards, Linda
