I have a customer who owns a 20-note barrel organ who is after some more
rolls for it.  The instrument was made from a kit in the 1980s, supplied
by Hofbauer, Gottingen, stock number 31/111.  I believe that this 20-note
instrument takes the same rolls as the 26-note barrel organ also sold
by Hofbauer.

The spool ends screw into the flanges and have small hexagonal pins which
drive the roll.  These pins are plastic, and with use they round off.  We
are therefore trying to get a supply of these ends.  Any help on this
matter would be appreciated.  Thank-you.
