Seek Phoneon Organ Adapter to Play 58-note Rolls
By Pat Kagi

Hello, I have a 61-key Phoneon player organ (by John Malcolm & Co.,
London) and need some rolls to play. Does anyone have or know of an
adapter that can allow me to play 58-note rolls or other types of rolls?

Thanks in advance,
Pat Kagi
