Regina Sublima
By James L. Brady

A couple of years ago I acquired a Polyphon Orchestrion # 2.  When I
received it in my shop I realized that it was exactly the same as a
Regina Sublima.  The Polyphon however, was at least 9 feet tall and had
a drum/snare drum and cymbal in it but the rest of the mechanism was
nothing more than a Regina Sublima.  The Polyphon Orchestrion came with
25 rolls of three songs each.  Most of it is classical music and I am
considering having these rolls recut for the Regina Sublima.  I am
wondering if I could get some help in finding out how many people would
like to have rolls for their Regina.  In other words would it be a
worthwhile project.

I realize that one of the problems with the Regina Sublima is they all
need a set of new hammers.  I am considering making new hammers since
these are not available to purchase.  So I am also asking how many
people would be interested in purchasing a set of hammers.

Please help me by giving me names of Regina Sublima owners and I will
contact them.  I will guarantee that these rolls will fit the Regina
and I will also promise a money back guarantee that the hammers will
be a perfect fit for the Regina.
