Test Roll for Pedal Duo-Art
By John Phillips

Hello MMD.  I'm pretty sure that the answer to this query will be
a resounding "No!" but I'll ask, anyway.  Did the Aeolian Co. ever
produce a test roll for a Pedal Duo-Art?

My Steck Half Duo-Art upright is so close to going that I can hardly
believe it.  I have the QRS recut DA-1002, "Duo-Art Test Roll No. 3"
on loan from a friend.  However, most of the tests thereon are
irrelevant to a pedal Duo-Art.  I do realize that a couple of sections
are useful.  I also own a Mastertouch 88-note test roll, so I can check
the performance of the individual pneumatics.

Since I have only one zero level to set in the expression box, probably
I don't need a D-A test roll at all, but it would be interesting to
know if a pedal version exists.
