THE
MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
MELOGRAPHIC ROLLS
Have proved their superiority by reason of material and musical excellence.
Arranged with strictest fidelity to the score with due regard to the possi-
bilities of the player piano to bring out the intricacies and essential
points of every composition.
Marked in the correct terms of musical notation identical with the score,
affording lucidity of interpretation to the musically advanced and in-
structive information to the novice.
No indulgent expedients to detract attention from intelligent rendition.
The most effective device for even tracking.
Special paper of great stability under widely fluctuating atmospheric con-
ditions, finished so as to prevent noise and abrasions when passing over
the tracker.
In short the best and most correct player roll made.
If you have trouble with other rolls, try Melographic Rolls and note the
difference.
Made in 65-note and Full Compass Standards.
Manufactured by
The Melographic Roll Company
25 Jewett Avenue,
Buffalo, N. Y.
