FS: Virtuola Expression Piano Rolls in Sweden
By Christofer Noering
How They Sell Piano Rolls In Sweden
Hello all! Please have a look at this net auction:
http://www.tradera.com/auction/auction.asp?aid=2318009
Obviously it's some sonata by Beethoven playing "upside down", but which
make of roll is it? Judging by the shape of the figures it could be
a Hupfeld, but it also has the pink label and curious leader shape of
a Heilbrunn Soehne Virtuola.
And now for the Swedish text:
"I have a number of rolls like that in the picture. They were
probably used in a player piano. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now I'm selling one of them, the one in the picture. If you open the
roll a little bit more, you will see holes of different intervals."
Best regards

[ Paul Manganaro has a beautiful Virtuola player; he says the
[ roll shown at the auction site looks like his Virtuola rolls.
