  I have never found a Gulbransen player that had less than 88 notes.  Since
the 1960's, however, most of the smaller new style players all played only
80 notes leaving off 4 at each end...some of them fewer than that.  Of
course, QRS piano rolls did not cut holes there either since the 60's.   The
Reproducing pianos also did not play all 88 notes ever because there were
expression holes needed there.  Duo Art only plays 80 notes and Ampico plays
83 if memory serves me.

  Many restoration people also whack off 4 notes on each end as well.  If
your Gulbransen had been restored it is likely the tech removed those notes
at that time.

  Except in the case of a Gulbransen where they decided that a few notes
less could count as a full system. Stingy, miserable scrooges they were!
