FS: National Automatic Piano Rolls
By Douglas Henderson

There turned out to be 36 ... and a few duplicates since this was part of the
Library of a RI route operator when we purchased our 'as is' National.

One could load up 3 Nationals (10 tunes each) and have few selections left over!

Here is a list of the rolls, which number 36 at my last count. The titles
appear below ... some are duplicates as the route operators could put in
the most popular selections. They were not stuck with a 10-tune roll as
many in the coin operated piano field were. National Rolls were "snappy"
and well arranged which I cannot say for some of the 10-tune A rolls I
had with my earlier pianos.

Single rolls for the 10-roll 'ferris wheel' changer of the National
Automatic Piano - -
