Seek Castanets Mechanism for Orchestrion
By Gary Stevenson

Does any MMDer have images or drawings of a castanets player for an
orchestrion or band organ?  I like the sound they make and I would like
to assemble one for my orchestrion.

I will modify information as required for my needs.  I have never
studied this percussion piece and need to understand what goes on when
one is playing.

I once adapted a Link reiterating pneumatic for my orchestrion by
doubling its size and building a mount.  It works great and is playing
in my orchestrion.  Now I would like to try to add a castanets sound to
it.
