Scale for 30-note Piano Melodico
By Gérard Dabonot

In his 180607 MMD message, Franco Severi presented the Piano Melodico
built by Racca, including interesting photos and information.  Some
time ago we had asked on the MMD site for the scale of this instrument
in order to create new books with our _laser_ cutting machine.  Thanks
to Nicholas Simons from Great Britain and Christian Greinacher from
Germany who have answered our mail with very good information!

We had received two requests for 30-note Melodico books from Finland
and Germany.  These requests motivated us to produce some newer titles
for the scale.  Our laser cutter allows also for the production of
books with special or rare scales and all types of Ariston disks
without additional mechanical or electronic equipment.  We can make
them from a good picture.

Maybe some owners of rare instruments could economize on the costly
and time-consuming construction of punching machines for every specific
scale by using the laser cutting technique.

We are open to all inquiries concerning the production of special book
or paper-formats.  Our machine is visible on Facebook (the video is not
very accurate and the result better as seen!) at

Best wishes from France.
