Music Scrolls & Scroller Pianos
By Bruce Clark

Will ancient Egyptian *Scrolls* play on our beloved player pianos, and
player mechanisms?  How often I hear this description of music rolls.
Some museums refer to music rolls as "scrolls", and even "cartridges"
or "rollers".

Are we loosing sight of our heritage?  Let's educate our friends that
these are player rolls.

Hey, anyone have a "scroll" of paper towels?
