1928~ Irvington Player Piano - Light Cavalry Overature - Von Suppe

I like this piano roll M-616690 because it features a dual piano team, but, more importantly, piano rolls often provided much better quality music reproduction than the scratchy 'infidelity' recordings of the day. So in this case, people would buy the piano rolls to hear the latest music. Now unfortunately Irving was a bit balky and the auto shut off went off a couple of times. These old piano rolls are delicate so I didn't want to do a bunch of extra passes. Played by Sturkow-Ryder and Lee S. Roberts.

It's pretty cool to make a piano play by itself

Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

That is a QRS Recordo roll. Lee S Roberts was entirely a QRS artist & was for a time president of the company.

I no longer have that piano or the rolls so I can't tell you, but at the start you see the roll lead in and its says 'recordo' on it. And while not as well known as Ampico or QRS, I think they have some really nice rolls out. I know vendors have recuts of them. :)

very nice is that a Ampico roll?

Can I use this as background music for my videos if I link to this video onscreen at the end of the video?

i don't see why not - its about 100 years old and public domain.
