In Germany, Hupfeld was the largest supplier of artist's music rolls for its own Hupfeld phonola art instruments. The phonola music rolls with the 72/73 scale were sold from 1902 initially only as drawn and then from 1905 also as hand-recorded artist rolls and only work on Hupfeld instruments. The paper is 29.5 cm wide.
The drawn Phonola rolls have numbers below 12000, while hand-recorded artist rolls have roll numbers from 12000, often with the signature and sometimes a photo of the recording artist. The paper has the watermark "Phonola" and the date of manufacture at the beginning on the reverse. The Hupfeld Phonola rolls have wooden flanks and metal spikes on both sides for mounting in the music roll case. As these rolls are hooked into the lower spool and run upwards, the roll label is arranged accordingly.
72 standard music rolls were also occasionally offered under licence by other manufacturers. For example, these rolls can also be found from SM (Schüller and Meissner).
