RE: Optical Roll Scanner
By Meta Brown
I, for one, am not bored with discussions of roll scanning. Since I live in a small apartment and move frequently, keeping a collection of old instruments would be rather difficult (and probably harmful to the machines). I plan to buy a recent vintage piano one day, and would like to use my parent's collection of rolls to create a music library for the new piano. The rolls are in many formats, including Ampico and Duo-Art. I need to educate myself about which piano is best suited to this and what approach will be best for converting the old rolls. So, please keep discussing roll scanning, Spencer!

[ except you might miss the fun of pumping the pedals! -- Robbie
