Hi, I recently acquired a player piano -- the first one I've ever had
or been around daily. It has been a lot of fun. When I first got it,
and before I learned what all the controls were for, I managed to shred
some of the rolls with a fast and careless rewind. I taped them back
together, and then shredded them again the next time I played them.
Since I know nothing about the historical significance of old piano
rolls, I'm coming to the MMD experts: Is it okay to throw these in the
trash, or does somebody want the remains? The rolls are:
QRS 80850 Polonaise A Flat, played by Ferruccio Busoni
(in a big, black QRS box);
Columbia 40134 The Thunderer March, pub. by Carl Fischer
(in a black box);
Supertone DeLuxe 40064 William Tell Overtur by Rossin
(that's exactly what the label says, but I didn't hear any of the
"Lone Ranger" theme. This is in a red clamshell-style box.)
Thanks,
