We have a PianoLodeon with a modest collection of rolls. We would be
interested in exchanging lists of rolls with other owners for possible
trades or sales. We also have what we think is a complete list of the
rolls produced by Chein for the little beastie. If anyone is interested
we will post it on the MMD.
An interesting historic bit on the rolls: They were arranged by J.
Lawrence Cook (that fellow really got around!). On a visit to our house
once he noticed the PianoLodeon and said he'd "done a bunch of rolls for
Chein." He reluctantly agreed to autograph the "St. Louis Blues", ending
with the note "but don't blame me!"
