Hello MMDers,

"O" roll man Bill Masterman here.  John Tuttle asks of current "O"
roll sources.

1. John Malone, The "O" roll perforator survived the Play Rite fire.
   John still does occasional "O" roll runs, and has a limited
   selection that he sells from his home.  Contact him at 209-667-8241.

2. Gottschalk Music Co.  Paul Gottschalk still has by far the best
   selection of "O" rolls, and has a nice catalog.  Contact Paul at
   217-351-1099

3. As previously mentioned, RAM piano has a lot of rolls listed on
   their web site, with some of those still available.  You pay more
   from them, however, as the rolls are in a longer box that leaves
   room for the pair of plastic roll flanges that are included with
   each roll so they can be used on the wonderful RAM spoolframe.
   These flanges are not needed if you do not intend on using them in
   a RAM piano.  RAM's phone is 209-667-5525.

I would personally recommend Paul Gottschalk, of all these sources.
Best selection and you do not pay for those plastic flanges that
increases the roll price by $20.00.  10 tune re-cuts are in the area
of $50.00 in price, from Malone or Gottschalk.

For what it's worth, anyone looking for A and G rolls should contact
the Miner Manufacturing Co. at 319-837-6486.  A great selection, and
check this out!  $30.00 a piece with free freight!  Its the best deal
I have found.
