We have just released five new Wurlitzer Band Organ Style 165 rolls.  All

are arranged by Andy Park, except for 6892, a Wurlitzer "Lost Tune" roll

arranged by Rich Olsen.



6890 is our annual "carousel" roll featuring a variety of different types

of tunes many will find familiar.  Tune titles and arrangements are chosen

to appeal to people looking for more than just background music.  Don't be

surprised if you have to play this roll again and again due to demand and

your own musical ecstasy!



6889 is a late 20's/early 30's fox trot roll featuring great  dance-band

hits of that era.  The person commissioning this roll specifically wanted

the arrangements to emphasize the great band style, while deferring to the

great Wurlitzer arranging techniques of that day.



6892 is our fourth Rich Olsen Lost Tune release!  It is a "lost tune" roll,

meaning its selections are listed in the Wurlitzer catalog, but no known

copies exist today.  Yet, one look at the titles indicates it was issued at

the peak of the late 'teens in Wurlitzer's great arranging period.  This

roll was arranged by the late arranger Rich Olsen.  We are very fortunate

to be able to issue this great music, probably close to Wurlitzer' s intention,

as Rich Olsen had studied it.



6891 is the second roll commissioned by Wurlitzer band organ enthusiast

Andrew Lardieri.  Many of these tunes will be familiar, and several should

have been on an original Wurlitzer 165 roll or ona previous modern release,

but weren't.  The arranging style is Wurlitzer's 20's and 30's.



6888 is a special Gospel roll, commissioned by John Malone.  Think you

don't like Gospel music?  Think again!  Listen to the samples on the

linked web page.  These are terrific high-energy, toe-tapping FT's and

OS's that defy the stereotype.



Facsimile labels, several sample tunes, and ordering information for

these rolls can be seen at



    https://www.wurlitzer165.net/wurlitzer-165-rolls 



along with some other recent releases and some copies of earlier rolls

still available.  All are in limited quantities, so you should order now

to avoid disappointment!



But wait, there's more!  Another three or four 165 rolls, including a

great boogie-woogie roll will be released in about four to six  weeks.

These rolls are also available in MIDI file form and as recordings made on

a Wurlitzer 165, in case your organ is indisposed.



Questions gladly answered.
