Looking for Romance! I'm sure we all have heard that one before.
However, really I'm looking for an 88-note version of this roll
titled "Romance" by La Forge.
All I have of it is in Ampico and Duo-Art. I would like to find it in
a standard 88-note format so I can play it on my regular player to learn
the piece. I know I could cover the last four notes on either side,
but I just want the 88-note version. The sheet music no longer exists
for this song.
By the way, we now have finally finished counting our latest
acquisition of used player rolls: the number is 26,863. I think this
makes us the largest used roll dealer in the world. Of that collection
approximately 6,680 are Ampico and about 4,700 are Duo-Art, Recordo,
Apollo 88, DeLuxe, Apollo X, Metro Style, Columbia and Welte.
We never knew there were so many different roll manufacturers.
So far in this collection we have found close to 30 different roll
manufacturers. I wonder if anybody has a real count of makers of
player piano rolls.
Thanks, Kim Bunker
