"Orchestral Cabinet" by Mechanical Orguinette Co.
By Todd Augsburger

I've been in contact with the owner of an instrument, made by
the Mechanical Orguinette Co, marked as an "Orchestral Cabinet".
This is a 31-note foot-pumped (hand-cranked roll) instrument.

I sent them image scans of a "No. 0" and a "No. 1" and they visually
identified it as the latter (Page 58, illus. #116 in The Organette
Book).  (They will be sending me pictures for confirmation.)  They
are not presently interested in selling it, but are simply looking
for more information.

So -- does anyone have (or know of) an "Orchestral Cabinet No. 1"?
