Tempola Music Rolls
By Andy Taylor

Hi gang:  Well, I sent my files to the perforator.  Our rolls should
be ready soon depending on Janet Tonnesen's workload (she is buried in
orders), but Tempola rolls should be ready very soon.  We will have only
standard 88-note rolls.  I think that including the prices and lists here
would be a bit self-serving, so those interested please look at

    http://members.aol.com/TEMPOLA/list.html

On this page you will find the lists, prices and short downloadable
samples of the rolls.  I would like to thank the following people for all
the advice and help in this project:

  My wife Christiene for editing the MIDI until her eyes were crossed!
  Bill And Mary Ellen Jellen for constant help and advice.  Janet and
  Richard Tonnesen (Custom Music Rolls) for cutting the rolls.  John
  Tuttle For helping me to learn web design and getting the word out.
  George Bogatko and John Roache for helping me to understand the MIDI
  programs.  R. G. Allen for helping me lay the basic foundation of
  Tempola Breakdown.  J. L. Stubbs ('Mr. Airpig') for designing the Foster
  piano graphic and the banners.  Jody and Robbie, the MMDigest editors,
  for putting up with my stupid computer questions and making my messy
  postings readable!  Bob Berkman, president of operations at QRS Inc.
  for his kind permission to recut a outstanding QRS arrangement from
  1917.  All the staff at QRS Pianomation in Naples FL for all their
  technical support on the great QRS Pianomation products, and the custom
  88-note Pianomation unit for our recording piano. (Play 'em all!)

It wasn't long ago that I was a "Newbie" to computers.  All of you would
have had a good laugh watching me download my first MMD text file --
I spread that thing around everywhere in the computer!  We asked many
questions that seem a little stupid now, but we are humbled by the fact
that this is an understanding and very helpful group!  For all of you
that have included our link, please accept our thanks.

We have elected to only have 100 made, ten of each for now, to see how
well they sell.  I hope everyone enjoys them as much as we have, putting
them together.

Andy & Chris Taylor

 [ Andy & Chris -- it's equally rewarding to Jody and me to have seen
 [ your progress.  Your letters to MMD get better each time, and I'm
 [ confident you've conquered the musical problems in the same way,
 [ just by "keeping at it!"  Best wishes to Tempola!  -- Robbie
