SUSSURRO: GEORGE GERSHWIN - MELODEE PIANO ROLL 4007 - JOHN SCHONBERGER in Richland Center, Wisconsin

$4

PLEASE NOTE:  I never had the
means or the opportunity to play these piano rolls.  I can merely say that they were deemed
“playable” by the persons I bought them from 20 years ago or more.  I have only unrolled them up to 18” as I
believe any damage would be at the beginning. 
My roll description only extends that far.
Title:  WHISPERING
Writers: lyrics disputed
& John Schonberger, music
Performer:  George Gershwin
Company:  Melodee 4007
 
Box:  FAIR-MINUS – The back end of the top portion
is missing.  The front end is split on
the top edge and the left edge appears to have been reinforced with clear tape.  The top edges have some splits, the longest
at about 3” from the front end, and a number of small abrasions especially
along the top left edge.  The bottom
portion is actually in decent shape with a little wear at the top of one end
and a crack in the lamination on one side. 
There are a couple of small pieces of clear tape on the edges of the
ends but they appear to be primarily for reinforcement.
Roll: GOOD.  The eye-ringlet tab itself is strong and in
excellent shape.  The paper around the
tab is a little worn with a number of tiny creases and two tears.  The largest tear is about an inch long and is
bending around the eye-ringlet cloth attachment.  The paper has folded along this tear so that
there appears to be some paper missing in the picture.  All the paper is there, just folded
under.  This tear, and the other at ¼”
would definitely need to be repaired before playing.  There is a piece missing, about 2” by ½” on
one edge at the corner where the paper reaches full width (please see
pic).  I suspect the roll would still
play well in spite of this missing piece but, again, some kind of reinforcement
might be advised.  There are no repairs
at the beginning and the paper, from where the music begins, appears to be in
excellent shape with no edge tears.  I
don’t believe there are any repairs past that point.
