Wilkinson & Broderip Barrel Organ
By Brian Chesters

Following on from the question posted by Jim Quashnock, I have a barrel
organ by Wilkinson & Broderip (c.1798).  Mine has two ten-tune barrels
and, as I remember, has 18 keys with four or five stops.  Mine is in very
nice condition and sounds great on all tunes.  Yours sounds similar but
it includes percussion.  If you want I can see what the 18 notes are on
mine.

P.S. If anyone has a spare handle for a Cabinet roller organ, I could
use one please.
