A wonderful new Wurlitzer 165 10-tune all rag roll, number 6855, has
just been released. Arranged by Rich Olsen, this roll contains ten
popular and lesser known rags true to their original scale. Although
Wurlitzer arrangers occasionally inserted a rag into their very early
Style 165 music rolls, this is the first time a period roll of all
rags has been released. This is an outstanding roll and a must for
anyone with a Wurlitzer 165 scale. The label showing all 10 tunes
and purchasing information is from Andy Adams at Gold Leaf Galleries
at http://www.wurlitzerrolls.com/cart/ROLLNUMBER6855.html
Two tunes, "Mississippi Rag" and "Stop Time Rag", can be heard at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c49SIPMbauA&feature=plcp or by searching
for the "Wurlitzer 166" channel on You Tube.
This Wurlitzer 165 / 166 organ has just had an original set of Uniphone
bells added, and now has full Wurlitzer 166 registration, and is the
only organ playing the full 166 capability of the Wurlitzer 165 roll.
