Player Organs
By Hal Davis

You might add that Kimball and Wurlitzer also made player organs.  Also
the Operator's Piano Co. made some player organs.  I'm sure there are
others as well.  These all played from special organs rolls.

Oops, almost forgot the Austin Organ Co., who also made player organs.
In addition, there were several companies that made reed organs that
were players.

It would seem that just about any instrument at one time or another
was made in a 'player' version, from clarinets to banjos, from harps
to violins, etc.  Even mouth organs were made that played from rolls.
