Small Monkey Organ by John Smith
By Chris Doe

Greetings All.  I am John's agent for his overseas sales.

John is well and lives In Flitwck, Bedfordshire, U.K.  The plans
started from an idea that John had given to him by his grandson.
The main difference in the roll format and organ is as follows:

  standard Raffin 20-note scale
  140 mm wide paper and spools
  wider holes on trackerbar (this is because the design is valveless)
  friction drive
  balsa wood pipes

Melvyn Wright is the only U.K. music producer at the moment to make the
paper masters for this organ.  However, many organ owners are learning
to make their own arrangements for the organ.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.  For more details into
the organ go to John's site:

Best Wishes to you all
