Broderip & Wilkerson Barrel Organ
By Jim Quashnock

I have a Broderip & Wilkerson barrel organ (London).  Although I could
probably figure it out eventually, does anyone have the order of notes
as laid out on the barrel?

I would like to tune the pipes, but there are no markings indicated on
them.  I could just set the slide tuners half way and see what I've
got.  But some of the slides are rather long and could tune a pipe a
whole step either way.  There are 18 pipes per rank plus drum and
triangle.  Any help would be appreciated.
