I am pleased to see my comments about street organ music roll prices
have opened good discussion on MMD.  I hope that more people will buy
organs, and even better, more people will take them out to play to
others.

I hope more music gets sold; how cheap would rolls be if a MIDster
punch was made with, say, 10 punches for a 20-note roll?  It would be
very fast and noisy.

 [ All inexpensive piano rolls produced in the last 100 years were
 [ punched with a long row of punch pins.  True, rolls were and are
 [ still are produced with single-punch machines, but these rolls
 [ are much costlier because more time is consumed -- just ask the
 [ folks who are in the business of punching rolls for sale.  Surely
 [ the same economics applies to 20-note rolls.  -- Robbie
