Status of QRS Music Technologies
By Matthew Caulfield

Looking online and in the MMD Archives for information about the
demise of Q.R.S. Music Rolls Inc., of Buffalo, New York, I saw
a posting to the 20.03.15 MMD by Wolfgang Heisig inquiring whether
piano rolls could still be ordered from Q.R.S.

Of course the answer is that Q.R.S. has gone out of business and its
remains were sold at auction on September 11, 2019.  But I don't see
that Wolfgang got any response to his question.

Did any MMD reader ever answer Wolfgang's question?   It is very rare
that a reader doesn't find an answer here and, although it is now
three months since Wolfgang asked, I would still like to reply to him
and explain.  But I don't have Wolfgang's email address.
