65-note piano player rolls, Digest 960525
By Rob DeLand

Another souce you might try will take some work on your part but in my opinion would be well worth the effort. Nickelodeon "A" rolls have some of the best ragtime & blues 65-note music available on perforated paper, and Don Rand has been recutting outstanding "A" rolls for a number of years. For $35 post-paid you can buy a 10-tune roll full of outstanding material (you'll have to buy HUNDREDS of 65-note rolls to find as much good music) but you'll have to slice the A roll into 1- or 2-tune sections, respool them, and add roll leaders. The music should play fine on your 65-note piano.

As I said, it will take some effort but it's well worth considering. You can reach Don Rand (Clark Orchestra Roll Co.) at 207-354-8033 or write to him at 163 Main Street, Thomaston, ME 04861.

Good luck on your search...
