Does anyone out there in Youtube-land know if Wurlitzer used Aeolian roll arrangments ("Eighty-Eight Note", "Sixty-Five Note", and "Universal" brands) as the basis of their APP and PianOrchestra roll arrangements? I know at least one Aeolian roll arranger (Herman Avery Wade) also worked for Wurlitzer, so it makes sense that his personal roll arranging style would carry over.
HOWEVER, this roll is NOTE-FOR-NOTE almost IDENTICAL to the Wurlitzer pianino roll of the same tune!
This was a ragtime classic from 1911/1912. It's listed on the White Star Line Songbook which means orchestras playing on the RMS Titanic, Olympic and Britannic played this song. I love the melody!
@MastersoftheOpera That's right! Do you have the White Star Line Orchestra CD? Alexander's Ragtime Band, Frankie and Johnny, and Waiting for the Robert E. Lee were evidently in their songbook, too. I love turn-of-the-century ragtime and Dixieland, myself!
@MastersoftheOpera I know they play it in the movie while Murdoch is launching the first boat. Its interesting to know that the White Star's orchestra played this song.
Wonderfully played and great sounding upright! Really nicely done!

Sounds great,
I am currently restoring a 1928 Stroud Duo-Art Pianola and hope it sounds as good as yours when I'm through.
Thanks for posting it.

Thanks. I don't believe there many development changes between 25-28, so drop me a line if I can help. Have lots of pics.
