Aeolian Duo-Art Orchestrelle Free-reed Chest

As far as I am aware, there was exactly one Aeolian Duo-Art
Orchestrelle manufactured.  I believe it is in The Nethercutt
Collection in San Sylmar, California.  It's unlikely this instrument
has been broken up for parts, so I doubt the item offered for sale
is from it.

Aeolian origin looks possible but I doubt there is any connection
with either Duo-Art or Orchestrelle.  A 61-note compass also puts it
outside of the Orchestrelle's 58-note range.
