Restoration of Ariston Organ
By Ingmar Krause

[ A forwarded note from Eddie Scott asked: ]

If there is none to do so in the UK, he can

1) Try it on his own, with help on questions by someone else (me,
for example).

  Pros: cheap
  Cons: probably not well done or never finished 'cause of frustration

2) Send it over to me, to let me do it.

  Pros: it's gettin' done and will be made to either (a) be quite
original and in some way "playing", or (b) be a little optimized to
play well by losing a little bit of the original way (not recognizable
without opening the instrument).

  Cons: expensive and could take some time.

3) Send it over to me, so I can give it someone to do it.

   Pros: it's gettin' done relatively quick;
   Cons: even more expensive !

P.S.: I'm interested in a list of those 30 cardboards with titles
and numbers as far as they are recognizable.

P.P.S.: I didn't answer directly to the author of the forwarded mail.
