Hi MMDers,  I have this big box of coin piano rolls that were
punched many years ago by Don Rand.  What I don't know is if he
used National music roll arrangements as the source.

National changer rolls are 12 inches wide but the rolls I have are
11.25 inches wide and punched 6-to-the-inch (65-note).  I actually
made a special spool to play them on my A-roll piano.  They sound
great, the arrangements are great.  They are mostly popular tunes
from the 'twenties.

Don did not put leader tabs on them, I think he said in case somebody
wanted to put on changer tabs.  I can't get hold of Don to get the
story on these.  I'm pretty sure they were National rolls recut by Don.

Does anybody know about these recuts?  They're still a mystery to me.

Thanks,
Brian Smith
