How many of you know about the approx. 350 Hammond organs made in
1938 that had roll playing mechanisms installed? A gentleman in
Annapolis Maryland (who has lots of experience in re-cutting projects
for rare music rolls) is starting a subscription project for rolls
for these machines. Following is a notice which he posted in which
I thought members here would be interested. If so, please contact
him directly at rhack@e... -JRG
Notice to all Aeolian Hammond owners:
I have (finally!) come up with a proposal to recut the Hammond BA
(Aeolian Hammond) rolls. The timing is now right to do this project;
Playrite has finished our last project of 200 Duo-Art rolls (also
12/inch) and now the perforator is
available to do the Hammond rolls.
There will be two sets available. The first set is 35 rolls, and
represents a good mix of the better music at a reasonable price of
$1085 ($31/roll) for the complete set. The second set of 55 rolls, in
addition, will really make a nice library of great music for those
that want a large variety of music. This set will be $1705 (also
$31/roll).
You may order either set, or both. The rolls will be cut on high
quality paper, better than the original paper, and include quality
boxes with labels. The rolls will have labels, but will not have
expression or stop information printed on the rolls.
For those that do not know me, references are available. I have been
doing roll projects for about 15 years, and have handled the
recutting of over 10,000 rolls for 7 different machines.

The selection of rolls on these lists are subject to minor changes if
we are not able to use an original roll (if it is damaged beyond
practical repair or if the wrong roll was in the box when
catalogued). We also reserve the right to substitute music if we
determine that the arrangement on the original roll is not good.
Terms are 1/2 of the set cost when reserving your set(s). The balance
and shipping (at $1.50/roll) will be due when the paper, boxes,
flanges, and cores arrive.
We anticipate that rolls will start shipping in several months.
Please call if you have any questions. Please make checks out to Hack
Mechanical Music.
Thank you.
