•Does anyone have for sale a 22- or 24-note in-line or folding xylophone, maximum width 36", in any condition? It can be for Nelson-Wiggen, Seeburg, Western Electric or whatever. I prefer single stroke but will consider a reiterating xylophone. Thanks, Ed Smith edsmith@europe.com.geentrope [delete "...

•Can anybody help with a drawing of the reiterating xylophone in a Philipps Pianella? It is the same model as Mr. David Evans has in his museum. Somebody out there must be able to help.

•Years ago I found, and had rebuilt, a large complete Wurlitzer toy counter and 37-note xylophone with Deagan bars. My thought was to interface them with a home-built nickelodeon. See the photo. My question is, what pressure and wind capacity would be needed for this equipment? No pipes are planned...

•Jerry Wagner asked, "... what pressure and wind capacity would be needed for this equipment?" I saw a Wurlitzer-inspired band organ which uses a Jacuzzi tub air blower. Those have to provide about 10 to 15 inches of water pressure. I can't make a specific suggestion. Most are probably bigger than y...

•Hi MMD, In 160129 MMDigest I posted an ad to sell what I was sold as a Seeburg E. I have received information from an expert in the field whose opinion I respect who states it is a late Seeburg B. Whatever one wishes to label it, it is a well-restored instrument that plays beautifully. Best regards...

•For sale: I have a very nice looking, well-playing Cremona A-roll nickelodeon to which a wood xylophone has been capably added. It is blond oak with stained glass panels. It plays great and has been recently tuned. Everything works. Send me your email and I can provide pictures and videos. Very rea...

•Hi MMD, On 29 Jan. 2016 I listed for sale a Seeburg nickelodeon. Further research has shown me that I was asking too much. This late Seeburg B, serial number 163403, plays "A" rolls, has a five cent coin slot, a 24-note wood bar xylophone and a mandolin bar. This Seeburg plays magnificently. This i...

•I have a client who is looking for more rolls for his Seeburg KT. It is equipped with a xylophone and I assume uses style "G" rolls. Thank you very much.

•I have an Operators Reproduco piano-organ with its original pump. My question is, what volume of air and pressure do its pipes need? I also have a Wurlitzer toy counter and 37-note xylophone; what air volume and pressure do they need? And does anyone know if a Jacuzzi style blower, with proper regu...

•Jerry Wagner wrote: > I also have a Wurlitzer toy counter and 37-note xylophone; what air > volume and pressure do they need? 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 (rel...

•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 moto...

•Dave Ramey just finished a restoration on my Wurlitzer Pianino. Mine has the xylophone and I had Dave add a snare drum since I saw one on YouTube with a snare drum. My Pianino has a factory installed button close to the tracker bar that controls drum on and off. The one on YouTube did not have this...

•Dear Wolfgang and MMDers, A year or more ago, you inquired about a Mr. Christmas automated musical device in the form of a xylophone played by Disney characters. At that time several people remembered them but none seemed to be available. We are currently visiting Walt Disney World in Kissimmee, Fl...

•As a professional percussionist, I can tell you that when percussionists talk about a marimba that is bought, sold and made today, they are basically talking about an instrument of range anywhere from 3 to 5 chromatic octaves (4 is most common, but the new trend is going down towards 5 octaves), wi...

•A xylophone is, of course, only made of wood bars. Any such percussion instrument with metal bars is most often known as orchestra bells or Glockenspiel (German for "bells play"). On a theater organ the orchestra bells play at a 2' pitch, as does the Xylophone. The much lower pitch metal bar sound ...

Does anyone know why xylophone bars and orchestra bell bars are "cut up" on the back? I am making my third set of metal bell bars and have always wondered why the cut up. By the way, I have a little computer program for calculating the length and nodal point of the bars. Fritz Gellerman
