Tournaphone Co. Organette & 'M. Gally's Patent'
By Kevin McElhone

I think the Tournaphone Co. made the 23-note Tournaphone or Cabinetto
Organette in the 1882-1891 period; Ed Schmidt makes new rolls for
these.

As for the 'Gally' music roll: what is the paper width?  What is the
width of the holes in the paper, and the gap between notes (across
the width of the roll)?  Knowing how many holes across and having a
photo of the spool would help identify it for sure.

I have over 500 types of organettes listed and should be able to
identify this with the information asked for above.
