How strange timing can be.  I have two "Princess Aeolian" player
pump organs.  Any time I see rolls for these organs I try to buy them.

Recently I was doing an update on my spreadsheet for my 46-note
Aeolian collection and came across a roll that said "Music for
Tonsyreno Organ".  I tried doing a search on the internet and the
MMD Archives.  There is nothing about this organ.

I can tell you that the roll is No. 2555, "Jerusalem the Golden".
The label is from Geo. Whight & Co., 143, Holborn Bars, London E. C.,
and is pasted over the top of the U.S. label.  At one end it says
that it was "Manufactured in The United States of America By Her Maj
Majesty's Royal Letters Patent Dec. 3, 1877 Mar. 4, 1881 Nov. 20 1884".

Does anyone have more information on the Tonsyreno?
