FS: Aeolian Orchestrelle Player Reed Organ
By Vincent Morgan

Orchestrelle for sale: a pre-1906 "Francis the First" style (model W)
of 7 complete ranks with a 13-note Sub Bass.  It is partially restored.
It does not play, but is basically complete except for the air motor
and a few clevis links.  We have a substitute air motor, that would
need a pressure box around it.

The ivories and drawknobs are complete and in good shape.  The lettering
is clear.  The pumping bellows and reservoir were recovered, and some
work was done on the case.  The knee panel exists, but it does not
show on the picture.  That panel needs new veneer.  The spool box has
a wooden tracker bar and we have about 100 music rolls for it.
Pictures are available upon request.

The Orchestrelle is located in Rhode Island.  Contact me for further
information at <vincentwmorgan@gmail.com>.  Asking price is $5,000 or
best offer.

Vincent Morgan, New York City
