Source of Tanzbär 28-note Music Rolls
By Brian Thornton

I had posted earlier that I was all set to recut Tanzbär rolls from
a data base I acquired from Ed Schmidt.   Unfortunately, the punch
control files would not work on the updated software and the MIDI
scans had severe tempo inaccuracies to the point that most were
unrecoverable.  This and a lack of interest forced me to shelve the
project for a while.

Within the last month I have acquired new old stock and many original
masters from Carl Semon's recutting project.  I will have a list of
these rolls, both 16- & 28-note, listed on my website on Sunday.
Once I get a reader set up to re-scan the originals I will be able
to produce these on a regular basis.

Additional note;  About 20 of Carl's master rolls have "Mystery Tune"
or just a letter penciled on them.  I may need some help identifying
some of these tunes.
