Seek 61-note Pipe Ranks & Orchestrion Parts
By Rick Cooley

Hi Gang,  Since most of the complete Europeon orchestrions have found
their way into collections and are now wonderfully restored, the
little guys like me must scratch through the left overs.

I recently found a number of Frati and Losche orchestrions without
their full compliment of parts.  One of these, a keyboardless Losche,
is in a huge cabinet but many of the orchestrion parts are missing.

I really need the following orchestion parts:  Triangles, snare drums,
bass drums, castanets, reiterating 61 note xylophone,  cymbals,
original metal bar glock, all with chests and/or striking mechanisms.
Any old abandoned orchestrion projects in your storage areas?  All help
would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, I need organ/orchestrion pipes, 61-note ranks: Bassoon,
Clarinet (Goddfried? Is there a chance of finding these?), Cello,
Violin, Flute, Piccolo, Viola

The MMDer's have come to my aid many times before but I really need
your help now.   Please send any responses to <cotps@aol.com>.

Many thanks in advance,

Rick and Betty Cooley
