Today I learned that QRS still makes piano player rolls, parts, labels, boxes, repair kits, books, storage.

Hell they still even put out a catalog- https://shop.qrsmusic.com/music/rolls

I have a friend who hand cuts rice paper into rolls then prepares the notes with an X-Acto knife- should I tell him about the pre-made rolls?

Anyway- I purchased a player piano recently, so I've been looking into what's still around with them.

By all means tell your friend about QRS, they have to have customers to stay alive.

I visited the QRS factory in Buffalo in 2005 (I had learned that they had several phonographs they wished to sell).

It was an interesting place - incorporating (then) new technology alongside original factory equipment. Here is a link to some of the company's history:

How the freak is QRS still open if they've been having rapid declines since the 1940s.
