Today's Market for Piano Rolls
By Ed Chaban

Okay, "Where's the beef?"  I've heard enough from grizzled veterans
that their mechanical perforators are fast enough and why a laser
cutter won't help.  If what they say is true then the questions
remain:

Where are the rolls?  Why don't you produce products we want to buy?
Why is there a dearth of good recuts in the marketplace?

Ed Chaban

 [ Let's test the market, Ed, with a small survey.  Send a list to
 [ MMD of 12 rolls you'd like to have recut, and invite MMDers to
 [ reply to you (1) if they would pay, for example, 12 US$ per roll
 [ for a good quality recut, and (2) if they would buy the tunes
 [ on your list.  Hopefully we'll determine if there really is a
 [ viable "market for beef!"  :-)  -- Robbie
