My name is Clinton Gray, and I am a mechanical music fan at the young
age of 17. I am an avid pianist, my favorite style being Ragtime. I
am moving to Phoenix, Arizona, in about six months, and am looking for
a player piano (in working condition) that someone might be giving
away, as I cannot take my great grandmother's 1972 Baldwin short
upright with me. My mother would kill me for taking such a family
heirloom!
I am also looking for two specific player piano rolls. The first roll
is QRS roll #2894, "Tea For Two," arranged by J. Lawrence Cook. I
asked my piano tuner about the roll, and he said that possibly the roll
is also QRS-175? Here is a link to a video for the roll:

The other roll I an looking for is "Silver Swan Rag," which is
attributed to Scott Joplin. Here is a link to that roll:

I have been told that the QRS roll number is 31533, but I think I'm
looking for a copy of the National roll.
If you have a copy of either of these rolls, or a piano you are giving
away in the Phoenix area, you can contact me at:
grayc461@cochise.edu.geentroep (deleting ".geentroep").
