Recutting Piano Rolls
By Erik York

Hello all MMD'ers!  Sorry to keep asking questions constantly.  The
MMD truly is invaluable for novices such as I.  I am astounded at
everyone's generosity here in providing help for those seeking advice!

I am wondering if it is possible to obtain recuts from an old roll in
small numbers?  I have heard about a few companies that will do small
production runs (guessing this will cost about 60 bucks), but not
singular roll recuts.  My aim is to get a playable and archivable
sample, consisting of a singular new recut.  If someone could give me
information on whether or not this is even possible, I'd be appreciative.

I have many rolls I wish to recut, including a rare Clarence Johnson
roll on US called "Aggravatin' Papa".  Have not seen it in any archives
yet, or on www.bluesrolls.com.  Very hot blues playing!  Goal is to
make that my second flat-bed scan for all to enjoy.  Hope to get this
done soon.

May your busy holiday seasons be merry!
