I don't have this roll. It is a nice piece but this recording is
played too fast, say on the "Tempo scale", probably by 15 (fast.).
I have a recording on a cassette tape I made some years ago, of good
well-known ragtime music, hand-played by a person I cannot remember.
The tunes are 'ruined' by a too fast tempo.
One way to adjust tempo on a piano roll or ragtime or 1920s music is
set the Tempo to what a person(s) can feel good to dance to. There
are exceptions, but that's a good way to start.
Regarding "Swipesy Cakewalk," if there is a demand for an 88-note roll
I might consider making the tune.
