 Subject: Reed Pipe Clariona

Sir:  A friend gave me your address as someone who knows about musical
instruments.  I have come into possession of a Reed Pipe Clariona from
the mid-1800s.  Looks like some sort of music-playing device that uses
a bellows to blow air through a perforated roll.

Could you tell me exactly what it is and possibly give me an idea what
it's worth.  It is in need of repair.  Bellows is shot.

Thank you.
