The concern about the longevity of roll boxes is short-lived.  Although
the mass produced roll companies tend to offer a "light weight" box, the
more custom roll producers don't.  I myself have found a company in Ohio
who is more than willing to make exactly what I want in the way of a
music roll box, in any color , in gold overlay or what ever, so concerns
are really unfounded.

HOWEVER, the hardest part of finding a music roll box producer is
simply finding one who even knows what a music roll IS!  When you get to
that point, you have it made.  That took 2 years.  Anyway, mine are in
the works, and will be used for Artists' Choice rolls in the future.
Especially since I am really tired of the four 'B's"...Boring, Basic,
Black Boxes.

To coin a phrase; "If you want it, it's out there and they'll make it
for you, but ya gotta look."

See you on the "Mean Streak" at Cedar Point next week!
