Some firms in The Netherlands like C. C. Bender (Amsterdam),
C. F. van der Does (The Hague) and G. A. Goldschmeding (Amsterdam)
had [lending] libraries where you could borrow rolls for some piano
players and the 58-note Aeolian Orchestrelle (for example, Model 750).
I have a lot of papers from the period 1900-1907 with catalog numbers
of Orchestrelle rolls but without the titles of the compositions
played.
There are some catalogues: "Music for the Aeolian Grand, July 1902"
and "Catalogue of 58-note music rolls for the Aeolian and Aeolian
Orchestrelle, January 1924" with only short lists, but my question is,
where can I find a complete survey or catalogue of these Orchestrelle
rolls?
Thanks anyway, best regards from
