Hello -- I'd like to at least see a Wilcox & White catalog from
1893 or later. I might be buying an early 44-note model and would
like to know else what the company offered at the time.

Also, as everybody here with a W&W Pneumatic Symphony mentions, if
I obtain the instrument I will also be looking for W&W 44-note rolls,
which is a bit like hunting ocelots in Pennsylvania -- not wholly
impossible, but highly improbable!

Message me if you have and are willing to part with any overtures,
opera, orchestral pieces (preferred), which means the equivalent of
my really wanting a dancing ocelot.

I'm hoping to make an arrangement to scan some titles for recutting
as well.
