Unknown Orchestrion Music Drawing
By Harald Mueller

Hello all -- maybe someone can help me. Someone wants to listen to
the music visible in this drawing photo:

https://www.hmmueller.de/Scans_x1000/image0Original.jpg 

I have only the naked photo, with the information that it is possibly
for a Welte orchestrion from 1924. I have added a number of lines and
numbers for selected notes in this image:

I guess that this is a layman's work, with lots of errors -- but still,
maybe someone of you will risk a guess of the scale so that I could
create sound from it (an ugly one, probably, if I copy it verbatim; and
then maybe I will attempt some "repairs").

Thanks a lot!

 [ It resembles the 87- or 89-key Gavioli scale, which has few controls,
 [ few percussions and is is mostly chromatic. -- Robbie
