Restoring Aeolian Orchestrelle Type Y
By John Westley

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

We are endeavoring to restore an Orchestrelle Type 'Y' player reed
organ.  Can I make contact with anyone who has worked on, repaired
or restored one such instrument please?

 [ The similar Orchestrelle Model "W" is discussed in detail by
 [ Richard Vance in his on-line book, "Rebuilding the Aeolian
 [ Orchestrelle 58-Note Player Reed Organ, 1912 Model 'W'", at
