                               New A-Roll Arrangements

There is so much great music in this world - whether your

preference is popular, classical, ragtime, blues or jazz!

The problem is that many of the greatest compositions in

these idioms were never originally cut as piano rolls.

And often if they WERE available back in the vintage days,

it was frequently on a very rare or obscure roll format

which the majority of collectors might never have the

opportunity to hear.

Because the A-roll format is available to a large number

of collectors, we want to periodically arrange "new"

A-rolls which present the best-of-the-best in music.  For

us the term "new" can represent anything from original

compositions, original arrangements of obscure but worthwhile

material, or re-coding of exceptional rolls from one format

to another. 

In music (or for any of the arts for that matter) one is

bound only by one's imagination. 

We invite your ideas and/or requests for new rolls.  Over

the coming months we hope to offer a variety of unusual and

interesting material to the A-roll collector's library.
