	$		22

Here is an interesting collection of 28 old 78 rpm records of rhythm and novelty piano from the 1920s and 1930s.
Many of these discs are now rare and hard to find. There are too many to show photos of every label.

There are 14 records by Billy Mayerl, 5 by Raie Da Costa, 3 by Edythe Baker,
1 by Jack Wilson, 1 by Carroll Gibbons, and 4 by others. See details below.

Some of these pianists are also known for their hand-played piano rolls.
Here is your chance to compare their gramophone / phonograph recordings with their pianola rolls.

Condition varies, see grading. Some have more wear but are still playable and enjoyable to listen to.
I aim to describe items accurately to ensure you are satisfied. If you have any questions please ask.

Collection preferred from Norwich area due to weight, cash on collection. Possible local delivery.
Postage to UK address will cost £20.75.  

I am always looking for rhythm and novelty piano memorabilia, especially Billy Mayerl and Raie Da Costa.

Thanks for looking.
