The Piano Roll
Various Artists
At one point during its heyday between 1900 and 1930, American factories produced player pianos six times faster than the country's population increased! This "masterpiece of engineering" performed a wide repertoire of classical and popular music, and The Piano Roll presents a range of tunes typically played by the standard home model.
