CATALOG #13

LAST CATALOG OF 2009
Due to prior committments in my automatic musical instrument restoration business, this will be the last catalog of re-cut rolls for the Orchestrelle that I will produce until 2010. Now is the time to buy...if you can. I will always find time to ship rolls that are on the shelf.

Usually I take about 30 seconds of the beginning of the roll, however, this does not always give an accurate picture of the music. In this instance, I have taken what I consider a representative portion of the music.

There are three sections to this catalog. Scroll down to find the links to the complete catalog as well as rolls from Catalog #12.

All rolls are $23.50 each plus shipping unless otherwise noted. As a comparison the new QRS rolls are $21.00 each and use standard player piano flanges!

SHIPPING
Shipping via Media Mail unless you request and pay for Priority. Postage costs have risen so calculate $5.00 for the first roll and $1.50 for each additional roll. I always include delivery confirmation with the package as that label seems to catch the attention of postal workers and just may get your package moving sooner! INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS CONSIDERABLY MORE DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF AN "ECONOMY" RATE. I DO NOT use the "M" bag service of the USPS!

PayPal is the preferred method of payment.You may also pay with a United States Postal Money Order.

NO CHECKS OF ANY KIND!

As usual, QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED. If you wait too long, all will be gone!

Please email for availability BEFORE sending any money!

When your order is confirmed you will receive an invoice. I would ask that you pay for the rolls at that time.

Once again, your support of my re-cutting project is appreciated.

"H" SERIES ROLLS
When I started re-cutting rolls for the Orchestrelle several people asked if I could produce some "modern" music. I contacted my friend Hiddo van Os in The Netherlands and asked him to arrange some music for me that would be more contemporary than that found on vintage Aeolian Grand rolls. In honor of Hiddo I prefixed the number with the letter "H"! The first ten rolls of the "H" series were arranged by Hiddo. Now I use the prefix to denote music which was probably never punched for the Orchestrelle.

This offereing of "H" rolls was produced using very early rolls made for Electrova coin operated pianos. The songs were written before the Great War and certainly reflect what might have been heard on the Orchestrelles of the day.
