Music for Pianos

Piano Rolls

I hear America Singing, the varied carols I hear.  Walt Whitman

On this page is a selection of Christmas Piano Roll MIDI's from the Rebirth collection of scans of Piano Paper Rolls made by Terry Smythe.

Terry has made his own collection of over 1400 rolls available on his website together with technical details of the scanning process and included are excellent photographic illustrations of the equipment used for the process. http://members.shaw.ca/smythe/rebirth.htm

He is prepared to make his roll scanner available to owners of collections of piano rolls wishing to scan their collections.

I have edited some of the files to give a more "live" sounding performance of the selection.  The original files can be found on the REBIRTH web site
