Using a Jacuzzi-style blower with proper regulators is, in my opinion,
a good idea.  I removed one a while back -- it was a 220 volt unit that
I ran on 120 volts and it blew the water out of my manometer!  It was
really quiet also.

These blower units are small, about the size of a 1/3- or 1/2-hp motor.
With their plastic case they are light also.

If you are only blowing a xylophone and a toy counter, I believe you
will have absolutely no trouble winding them with the Jacuzzi blower.
Try it.  Have some fun!
