We have nearly completed recutting our final project of 40 Wurlitzer
Automatic Player Piano (APP) 5-tune changer rolls. The tune selections
on these rolls represent the finest of all the previous APP projects we
have done.
We borrowed original, mostly early, rag and one-step rolls from the
'teens (numbers 1 to 750), and fox trot rolls from the '20s and '30s
(rolls numbered 1800 to 1999 and 01 to 0350) from seven collectors.
These are the most popular rolls that collectors request.
Notable rolls included are Wurlitzer APP Roll No. 1, the first APP
rag roll ever produced for this platform by DeKleist / Wurlitzer; eight
rag rolls in the very early number series referenced above, mostly on
brittle red paper; and 13 rolls in the rare 0200 series mostly produced
after the 1929 depression after roll production cratered.
Rolls are recut by Play-Rite Music Co. in Turlock, California, on
quality wax-impregnated paper. We use copies of original roll labels
when available, and boxes and red-cloth / wire leaders just like the
original. Tune cards on heavy paper stock are included.
These recuts were mostly sold by subscription to our previous buyers
in two 20-roll sets. We have two of those sets remaining available
in either or both of those 20-roll sets at $1,600 per 20-roll set plus
shipping. Links to the roll lists are included with this posting.
Rolls are expected to ship within about four weeks.
When these are sold out, there won't be any more. More information and
answers to questions gladly provided.
