It appears that Jim Miller needs a reality check in good business
sense. Given the probable worldwide demand for Red Welte rolls, does
he really expect Tom Jansen to keep his shelves stocked with his full
catalogue, just waiting for a call from someone like Jim?
Tom is providing a first-class service to mechanical music enthusiasts
by supplying top quality recuts for a host of exotic instruments. With
the generosity of collectors, he is steadily increasing his catalogue
of rolls for such instruments as Helios, Popper, Red Welte, Unika, and
many others. Just look at his website.
A couple of years ago I ordered a batch of Popper rolls from Tom, and
they arrived in less than a month. The rolls are beautifully cut, and
he appears to copy only the best original arrangements for each
instrument.
I, for one, have no problem with Tom's business methods.
