Instrumentation of Wurlitzer 165 Band Organ
By Bob Loesch

Hi MMD.  I'm attempting to recover some of the information I lost in
last year's monumental computer crash, and I know that some of that
information came from the great folks here.

I'm attempting to build a band organ, using left-over theatre and
church organ pipes (very much as Ray Siou did), and would like to model
it on a Wurlitzer 165, but with all ranks completely chromatic.

I know I had gotten several private posts from various individuals
(I seem to recall informative posts from Joyce Brite?  Matthew
Caulfield?) which had notes on the range and instrumentation of the
165.  If any of you recall my search, or have any information about
the 165 you're willing to share, please email me at <rrloesch@jps.net>
or <Bob@cuckoobob.com>

Thanks all, and I'll try to remember to *back it up* this time!

Regards,
