Seek Peerless Orchestrion Rolls
By Haemesl Marcel, forwarded

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.
