Seeburg Celesta Super Orchestrion
By Stephen Kent Goodman

This is a notice to those of you who wanted to be informed when
I would get finished with my one-of-a-kind Seeburg orchestrion playing
Wurlitzer Mandolin PianOrchestra files, H rolls, G and 4X rolls and
my own arrangements transcribed from genuine period dance orchestra
orchestrations.  It's ready to receive visitors.

It sounds like a larger Mandolin PianOrchestra (of a least four ranks)
or a style 32 Concert PianOrchestra, except the range of expression
is far greater and more dramatic.

Just give me a phone call or email telling me when you are going to
be in the area.  The wait was worth it -- it's a hard act to follow.

This is the super orchestrion that Seeburg should have built, and, at
the risk of sounding arrogant, Seeburg started it and I finished it.
Come judge for yourselves.  I have sent a picture of it to be placed in
the MMD Pictures section.

Cheers,
Stephen Kent Goodman
