Seek Wurlitzer 165 Repetition Test Roll
By Gordon Ramsey

I really could use an improved organ test roll for the Wurlitzer 165
that tests key repetition instead of one hole per note -- something
like the way an 88-note test roll works. For each division of the
organ, do a "Morse code 6" (long and four shorts) on each note followed
by the trill between adjacent notes up the scale.

This would help me determine how often the cleaning of the bleeds needs
to be done, and will make sure that the organ is working at its best.
When my new organ moves to the Wichita Botanical Gardens carousel, it
will get played a lot, and will need to be well maintained.  A better
test roll certainly would help.
