FS: 10,000+ Piano Rolls in So. California
By Rich Ingram

Among others, I have had the hobby of collecting piano rolls and pianos
for years, and it is time to get down to just one hobby.  I have not
had time to enjoy the piano roll hobby for a few years now, so I am
selling everything but one piano and about 300 rolls.

I have 10,000+ rolls for sale for $10,000.00.  That equates to a dollar
a roll or less.  The last time I counted, I had 15,000 rolls, but sold
some off over the years.  There may be as many as 12,000 left that I am
not keeping, but I will be safe in saying that there is at least 10,000
rolls.  They are mostly 88-note, but a small percentage consists of
65-note (about 600) and reproducing rolls (Duo-Art & Ampico).  There
are a few weird ones in the batch as well.

Most of my personal collection consists of QRS red box, and the bulk
of the rest is also QRS.  There are many that have only been played
a few times, and a hundred or so that are new old stock (NOS).  I have
a Photobucket slide show that shows the collection at

The photos are only a representative sample, and there is much more to
see in person.

I am also willing to sell the roll cabinets as well.  I need the space
for other things, so I need to sell this collection.  It is time to
move on to the next chapter of my life.  I will still be involved with
AMICA and keep one piano and some rolls, but just enough to keep my
interest.  I also have many other QRS items for sale that someone might
be interested in.

Thanks,
