It is "most complete" only to Europhiles (especially German).  It
treats the American orchestrions as secondary contributions, if it
mentions them at all, preferring to laud the Hupfelds, Weltes, Poppers,
et. al., and completely ignoring Operators, Seeburg, Link, Peerless and
Nelson-Wiggens among others.   Wurlitzer is only mentioned because they
imported things from Germany.

As I mentioned in a previous posting on this CD, to call it the most
complete to date is misleading at best.
