I have been quite successful in building a representative collection
of organettes.  Should anyone have the following to offer please let
me know:

- Cabinet style organettes
- Organettes as part of tables, on stands, etc.
- Grand Gem Organette
- Foot-pumped reed organs or organettes without keyboard

I am in the beginning stages of writing a book on organettes for
AMICA.  I am desirous of borrowing (will pay round-trip postage and
insurance) or obtaining 400 or higher dpi JPEG images of catalogs
circa 1878-1890.

I was offered a very large Orchestrelle but did not buy.  If the
gentleman who offered it still has it I would like to learn more.

Best wishes,
Dave Bowers
