This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I have never found a Gulbransen player that had less than 88 notes. Since the 1960's, however, most of the smaller new style players all played only 80 notes leaving off 4 at each end...some of them fewer than that. Of course, QRS piano rolls did not cut holes there either since the 60's. The Reproducing pianos also did not play all 88 notes ever because there were expression holes needed there. Duo Art only plays 80 notes and Ampico plays 83 if memory serves me. Many restoration people also whack off 4 notes on each end as well. If your Gulbransen had been restored it is likely the tech removed those notes at that time. D.L.
