The Philipps / Wurlitzer music roll database project

The Music Roll Database Project is an attempt to catalogue original, factory-cut music rolls for certain automatic musical instruments. Recut music rolls are not included, although title information from recut rolls may be used as a source of catalogued tune and composer information, and will be so noted as may be appropriate.



Site shows neat pictures of original materials and thorough descriptions of the manufacture and use of these "old-timey" jukeboxes.



SO glad to know someone is doing this!
