Hi everyone, I received this email from Haemesl Marcel in Belgium.
I am forwarding this to the group as somebody may be able to help him
find some rolls for his orchestrion. I am unaware of any A rolls that
play the instruments his orchestrion has. I have suggested to him that
he joins this group too.
