I built an orchestrion that uses these Style "O" rolls and I have
a description on my web page that should answer your question about
the orchestrion:  http://www.studio801.com/orchestrion.htm

As part of my answer to you: No, an orchestrion is not the same as
a band organ.  Band organs use pipes that make nearly all of the sounds
needed to represent a band: flutes, trumpets...  E-mail me for further
details.
