I think I've heard of this song before 😅 It sounds great. I don't know hardly a thing about Meloto rolls. They were a European company? Where were they located and who was some of their top pianists?
Meloto is an English company from London(UK) and the problem of Meloto is that they hardly mention who the player of the roll is, only the composer. I’ll dive into this matter and will post about it Thanks for watching and remarkable how you recognized the melody😁
@playerpianofavorites8999 Just call it coincidence! Yes... whatever you want to share about Meloto, I'd love to read. I like those boxes... colorful. Do you have any idea about what year this roll was made by Meloto? I'm trying to place them in a time-line with player piano history.
Meloto existed from 1921-1932 and was also a record producing company. They produced player piano rolls of their own masters but also from masters that they obtained from Aeolian/Universal New York. The company was also known as: The Meloto danceroll co. Ltd The Orchestrelle co. Ltd London The Meloto Co. Ltd London All were part or under supervision of Aeolian UK I hope to inform you soon about the date of issue and the players
@playerpianofavorites8999 Fascinating!!! I had absolutely no idea they were associated with aeolian. Now I wonder if some of their rolls are aeolian cut rolls?... Since Meloto didn't really list pianists, they didn't have to list the American pianists if they ever did use an apology roll and just stuck a Meloto label on it. Europe got the better end of the deal with the boxes for sure! I've always liked those boxes when I've seen pictures of them. I don't own a Meloto roll.... guess I need to go shopping!
@@SevenPlus65 they did have their own masters but also used masters provided by Aeolian and Universal. The roll production was by Universal Music co. Ltd. In Hayes(UK)
