Available Plans for Organette and Barrel Organ
By John Kleinbauer

Hi All,  I saw in this mornings MMD a request for a barrel organ and
plans for an organette.  While corresponding to people who bought my
book on how to build a barrel organ, I have found out what is out
there.

There are two sets of plans for building a street organ.  Both require
the builder to purchase ready-made parts.  One requires expensive pipes,
the other a paper feed assembly.  There was a guy in England who was
promising to write up how he built a monkey organ.  From what I hear he
collected the money but the plans never came.

I myself have a small organette that I built that reads a book of
cardboard cards.  I am torn at this point whether to produce set of
organette plans or to start a barrel organ with pipes.

Now the good news!  I am once again offering my book, "Building a Barrel
Organ", an adventure in plastic.  I will donate five dollars of each
sale to the MMD.
