Paul Morris's Music, one of the smaller roll auctions in England, has
come up with a list of 58-note organ rolls. These start with a whole
batch of the very fine modern ones cut by Steve Cox of Laguna Rolls
around 1982 -- though these were mainly recuts of 88-note piano pops.
So I thought worth a mention here.
The cutoff date is pretty soon, 22nd August, so I'll give the address
(no email) and lot numbers:
Paul Morris's Music,
27 Blackall Road,
Exeter EX4 4HE
United Kingdom
Tel +44 1392 275956
(Reminder: 1 PM in New York is 6 PM in Exeter)
Usual bid system: you pay 10% over the bid below yours. But --
** All bids are to be in writing on the forms provided!!**
