Hi All,  Well after several months of searching the Internet and
sending e-mails, making phone calls, sending letters I now have my
reeds on order.  I called FRM Enterprises and gave Frank the set of
notes I need to make my roller organ.  Frank understood what I was
doing but he got confused when I told him the scale I was going to use.
He then shipped me a chart supplied by an Italian reed company.

The Scale is:

G, C, D, E, F, F#, G, A, B, Middle C, D, E, F, F#, G, A, B, C, D, E,

Reed Numbers:

010, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29,
31,

Vocal Scale in Italian (Italian reeds)

sol, do, re, mi, fa, fa, sol, la, si, do', re', mi', fa', fa', sol',
la', si'', do'', re'', me''

I hope the above information helps anyone who is thinking of using
accordion reeds for a project.  The reed blocks have two reeds on them,
one for when the accordion is going in and the other for when the ac-
cordion is going out.  Leather check valves are mounted below each of
the reeds to prevent air from going past the reed that is not being
used.

The cost for the reeds leathered and tuned is about $8 dollars each.
To save money you could have just one of the two reeds on each block
leathered if you are using a vacuum or pressure system.  I tried track-
ing down a place to buy organ reeds but they seem to be even rarer than
accordion reeds.
