Dear Fritz,

        Thanks for the info. I HAVE seen the Jackolodeon that you mentioned.
It was at Toy-Fest in East Aurora NY this past summer. It looks a lot like a
big, green television cabinet with lights on it. Regardless of it's strange
facade, I thought it sounded great. That was most of the inspiration to
"playerize" my reed organ. It's about 1/3 completed as of today. I hope it
won't be too much longer.¶
        One other thing, does anyone know if Lauter-Humana unit pneumatics
will work screwed down horizontally as opposed to vertically like they are
in a player ? ( the valves will travel from side to side insted of up and
down ) These will be the type of valves that I will be using in my organ.
They will be screwed directly to the vacuum chamber already contained inside
of it.
                                                         Thanx !!
