FS: Orchestrions & Player Organs in UK
By Kevin McElhone

I have only seven weeks left now to sell the remains of a once
very large collection here in UK.  The owner is moving house in
Cambridgeshire UK.  He would prefer a UK sale if possible.

1. Aeolian Orchestrelle, Model "W" in an English Renaissance case.
It is working well, was restored by Reg Richings 20 years ago, and
comes with a cabinet which is full of organ rolls.  £2,400

2. Bevington Church Barrel Organ, 9 foot 6 inches high, 3 barrels,
single foot pedal plus hand-turned, restored by Freddy Hill.  £5,000

3. Hupfeld Atlantic Piano Orchestrion, weight driven, two barrels,
xylophone plus percussion.

4. Street barrel piano on cart, nice Music-Hall English tunes, the
last one pinned by Tomasso in 1960's, with letters from Tomasso.  £3,000

The owner is not on e-mail at this time but I can give his name and
phone number if you are seriously interested.
