Hello Mechanists,  I'm building a scrap bass 'organ' from street pipes
and am looking for help with identifying a good way to supply the air.
The fan or pump will need to run on a 12-volt motor as the pipes will
be mounted on our "Tone Float" -- a mobile musical milk float.  I have
a small workshop so fabrication is the preferred route, as cash is
short.  The pipes are about 100 mm diameter by 3 to 6 meters long.

Also, I have a large quantity of 65-note and 88-note pianola rolls in
Manchester, UK.  (Sorry, I don't have a list.)  If anyone is in the
area and can use them please email.

Thanks,
Jon Large
