Seek Mallets for Aeolian Harp
By Bob Taylor

I am trying to find a completely original mallet(s) used to strike
the metal bars of an Aeolian Organ Harp.  Any condition will do.
If you have such an item and would like to sell it to me, please
contact me as soon as possible.

Typically, original mallets are mounted on rosewood or mahogany
shafts and the beater ball is covered with a felt wrapping which is
secured with a tightly wound cord.  The shaft has a steel pivot pin
near the center, and the actuator end is fitted with an oblong hole.

If you are not certain about the identity of your mallet, I can
provide a picture of the Aeolian mallet to aid in identification.
