Seek Wurlitzer Band Organ Pipe Scales Book
By Andrew Barrett

Hello all,  I would like to purchase a copy of the Wurlitzer Band Organ
Pipe Scales book, which I believe was compiled and published by the
late Mr. Doyle Lane in 1981, but is now out of print, I think.
Here is some more information on the book:

If no originals are available of this book, and you (the MMD reader)
only have one copy, which you do not want to sell, would you perhaps
consider making me high-quality photocopies of the book?  I'll pay what
you consider to be a fair price for your efforts, since this book
appears to be rather difficult to obtain these days.

Were very many copies of the book left in Mr. Lane's warehouse at the
time he passed away?  If so, where are they now, and would the person
holding them please make them available for sale?  I would much rather
buy an original of this book than have someone go to all of the trouble
photocopying the whole thing, (not to mention the probable copyright
violation, if this book is indeed still in copyright) and there _must_
have been extra unsold copies left over at the time of Mr. Lane's
passing.

Here is a little more on the status of Mr. Lane's warehouse of stuff
in Vermont as of last year:

If Mr. Johnson's post means what I think it means, then the person
who bought the surplus Wurlitzer parts most likely also bought all the
remaining copies of this book.  I do hope they make them available for
sale.  At very least, perhaps someone could put me in touch with this
individual so that I could purchase a copy of this book for myself.

Sincerely,
Andrew E. Barrett
