Wind Supply for 37-note Xylophone & Percussion
By Jerry Wagner

Years ago I found, and had rebuilt, a large complete Wurlitzer toy
counter and 37-note xylophone with Deagan bars.  My thought was to
interface them with a home-built nickelodeon.  See the photo.

My question is, what pressure and wind capacity would be needed for
this equipment?  No pipes are planned.  The smaller, single-phase
Spencer Orgoblo blowers that I see available produce a pressure of
only 3 or 4 inches water gage.

Regards,
