Strange Music Roll Term

From: paulfar@cox.net.geentroep (Paul Eggert) To: "Mechanical Music Digest" Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 21:17:20 -0700 Subject: Strange Piano Roll Term: "Full Compass" I recently acquired an 88-note roll with snakebite-like expression on the right margin that raises two questions. The brand name seems to be "Accentist" on the roll label and box label. Does anyone know anything about that brand? It may be Canadian. The inside of the box and the roll leader mention "Imperial Linenized," apparently a reference to the linen roll leader. The note on the inside of the box states "To avoid confusion when ordering 'Imperial Linenized' music rolls, please mention the name and compass of your roller." The box states that "This box contains 'Imperial Linenized' Full Compass [underlined] Music Roll." What does the term "compass" mean, when referring to a piano roll, and what does "Full Compass" mean? Paul Eggert Fountain Hills, AZ From: John A Tuttle In my opinion, the term 'full compass' means that it's an 88-note music roll. In other words, it plays the 'full range' of the piano.

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message.
