Roll-Playing Electronic Player Organs
By Kermit Raydon

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I am seeking information about electronic keyboard player organs that
play the traditional paper music rolls.

I saw my first and only new player organ in a music store in Kansas
City, Missouri, in 1968.  I had just finished restoring my first player
piano at the time.  I believe the organ was made by Kimball.  I would
like to learn if anyone else like Baldwin, Wurlitzer, Conn, Lowery,
etc., made them, and when.  I know that Thomas and Gulbransen made one.

I would like to obtain an electronic player organ.  I have two player
pianos and a large library of music rolls.  I would appreciate any
information/knowledge on the subject of player organs that you may be
able to provide.

Thank you,
