My mother in law has a pianola. My sons like nothing better then to pump out a few tunes.
They have two favourite rolls. One is a compilation of TV comercials eg Louie the Fly the other is Red Back on the Toilet Seat.
Whenever I go to a market or second hand store I'll buy up whatever rolls I find. Sometimes they go for as little as $5 each.
Otherwise she orders new rolls from the US as the Australian company that used to make them closed a couple of years ago.
She spent $1000 on the pianola recently giving it a complete refurbishment.
