Recutting Wurlitzer PianOrchestra Rolls
By Don Paynter

Hi MMDer's,  Summer in the south [hemisphere] is looking to be hot
this season.  The coming year will see the completion of New Zealand's
Wurlitzer Photoplayer, hopefully by the end of March.  Them we will be
able to put up some videos at YouTube.  It does sound great but most of
the time some things are not all connected.  We are just reassembling
the percussion case after French polishing.

We have found some Wurlitzer PianOrchestra rolls which we are hoping
we will be able to copy.  There are only a few and, as there are so few
instruments left that play them, we are seeking advice and direction
where we could get them copied.

Does anyone just do single cuts?  If so, who, and how do we contact
them?  Any advice would be great.  Thanks.  If we can get a copy we
will connect our duplex roll frames at

#1 WPC (Concert PianOrchestra)
#2 WPM (Mandoline PianOrchestra)

Regards,
Don Paynter
Opotiki, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
