Seek Titles for QRS Apollo Concert Grand Rolls
By Mark Pichla

I recently came into ownership of a small lot of Q.R.S. Apollo Concert
Grand piano rolls.  These are perforated at six holes to the inch and,
if I understand correctly, are either for an 88-note Vorsetzer or early
Melville Clark piano with inner player action.  The paper measures
about 15.25 inches wide, and the spool from end to end is about 16.25
inches long.

Since some of the labels are missing, I do not know what all of their
titles are but do have their catalog numbers.  I am wondering if anyone
has compiled a listing of these rolls and would be able to provide me
with the titles based on the catalog numbers.

Thanks for any help!

Respectfully,
Mark Pichla
