The music rolls with a standard 65-note scale were marketed by Aeolian in America as early as 1897 with the Pianola as a pre-setter and thus came onto the German market even before the Hupfeld Phonola. These music rolls continued to be offered long after the 88-note rolls had become established, as many 65-note systems were still being used by customers. These music rolls are available with wooden and plastic sides. There are metal pins on both sides to hold them in the music roll case. The paper is 28.6 cm wide.
65 note standard music rolls were also offered by many other manufacturers. These rolls can also be found manufactured by SM (Schüller and Meissner), Spaethe, STEMS and many others. 65-note rolls are mainly found as drawn rolls - more rarely also as hand-played artist rolls.
