Before this thread gets too cold, I thought I'd post some examples of Clark Xylophone A-rolls, right from the horse's mouth: an authentic Clark Orchestra Roll catalog from June of 1928 that I own.  In it you will see many titles of Clark Xylophone A-roll arrangements, designed to really pep-up a single-stroke xylophone A-roll machine, coax a reiterating xylophone piano into another dimension, or give a pipe-equipped A-roll piano an otherworldly (and uniquely pleasant) "fluttery" sound!  I have many of these types of xylophone-arranged A-rolls and have played them on both types of pianos, and I can vouch for their truly unique brand of sound quality!

Cheers,

Mark Forer
