Typically a Wurlitzer toy counter and the xylophone would be on 15
inches of air pressure, although I think 10" to 15" would work them.
This is much higher air pressure (relatively, we are talking inches
of water, so you are still under 2 pounds per square inch) than the
Reproduco operates on.  (I think they are at 4", but don't quote
me!).

I don't know what a Jacuzzi style blower is so can't answer that.
You wouldn't need much volume for those two items, as there isn't
a lot of "note demand" occurring.  You do want something that runs
quietly though!
