Source of Clariona Rolls
By Bob Ebert

In MMD of June 10th there was a forwarded message from Joe Kelly
asking for information and sources for rolls for a Clariona organette.
An excellent source for rolls and parts is:

  Ed Schmidt
  c/o Schmidt's Music Rolls
  5010 Elsmere Place
  Bethesda, Maryland U.S.A.
  Phone: 301-530-3203

Ed has an excellent selection of re-cut (new) rolls for Clarionas and
other organettes, plus many repair parts.  Also, he is very helpful in
assisting with problems.

Regarding the value of a Clariona -- two years ago we bought a restored
one (but it ended up having two broken reeds that Ed Schmidt was able
to find replacements for).  We paid $600 for it.  If it does not have
the "reed pipe" attachment (a sound amplification device that fits over
the reeds), its value would be diminished somewhat.
