Aeolian Grand Player Reed Organ
By Terry Robson

I have recently run across an Aeolian Grand player reed organ.  It
appears to be in very good original condition.  The cabinet is as large
or larger than a big upright piano, with a great deal of fret work on
the front of the cabinet.  It is quite ornate.

The keyboard is 73 notes.  It has about 20 drawknobs, but I have no
idea how many banks of reeds.  It is not motorized.  The serial number
is 12478.  Looks like it plays 65-note rolls.

Does anyone have any info on such an instrument or what it's value
might be?  Thanks.
