•Over the years I have had instruments in for repair with metal "Xylophone" bars or "Dulcimors" as the British Showmen call them. I check their tuning and have them re-polished and chromed but they always end up rusting again after a few years. These are on traditional traveling fairground organs wi...

•Hi everyone, quick question: In the Coinola X (xylophone or bells, drums, etc.) does the xylophone or bells play both the solo parts of the 'O' roll? Thanks Peter Coggins

•The Nelson-Wiggen 4X, with its 28-note xylophone, banjo attachment, snare drum, and triangle, is 5'2" tall. The 5X, with its 22-note marimba, banjo attachment, snare drum, and triangle, is 5'10", in the same cabinet as a Style 6. (There are slight variations in size of Styles 6 and 8, so there coul...

•Please don't ask me to "slow the rate of reiteration of that xylophone down", or "Is there anyway to make it play just a single tap instead of repeating?" The one that takes the cake is having a client say to me, after hearing his newly rebuilt Ampico play for the first time to his ears: "Is there ...

•Hi all, Do you have a partial Seeburg xylophone lying around? I'm needing the first note G and last note E for a Seeburg xylophone, a Seeburg Bass Drum, rewind pneumatic, and sliding block multiplexing device for a KT Special. If you have these or know who I could contact to obtain these items plea...

•I am currently storing a Seeburg E coin piano with mandolin attachment and xylophone for a friend who wishes to sell it. The instrument is in good playing condition but could use some TLC to get it in top order. The original coin system is missing, a non-original system is in place. The bottom boar...

•For some unknown reason I have been thinking of having some more rosewood xylophone beater balls made, 7/8 inch in diameter, and wondered how many of you would be interested in obtaining some new balls. They cost $2.00 each with the biggest cost being the rosewood. While I was researching the woode...

•Hello, I am building a mechanical xylophone and I need striker pneumatic cloth. Does anybody know where I can buy this cloth in France, or in another country? Thanks a lot. Patrice Rabby Normandy, France http://www.members.aol.com/decomidi/

•Typically 1140 rpm 1/8-horsepower motors were used in pianos with mandolin and xylophone, and in most Coinola machines except CO and SO which have a bigger pump and use the 1/6 hp motor. A 1/6 hp 1140 rpm motor was used in pianos with pipes: Seeburg F's, K's, etc., and Cremona G, K & J. 1750 rpm us...

•I have seen one Seeburg E without the typical coach lamps that had a xylophone. Seeburg made the style E over many years, in several case and art glass designs. Don Teach

•Given that original Seeburgs would appear to have A=435 tuning to the xylophone, does this necessarily mean that the piano would also have had the same tuning applied? The reason I ask is that in the Edgerton Repro Seeburg KT Special Handbook, it states that the piano is tuned to A=440. I wonder wh...

•I am looking for parts for a cabinet-style Nelson-Wiggen orchestrion (with a horizontal xylophone on top). It is in a tourist attraction, "played to death", and the pump is missing; it's currently running on a noisy blow-gun/vacuum unit lying in the bottom. It also has a replacement A-roll spool fr...

•I have a Nelson-Wiggen Grand Style 3 coin operated nickelodeon [with xylophone] for sale, serial number 107325, at my warehouse in Hagerstown, Maryland.

This reminds me: In the local elementary school, they do have something that looks exactly like a "metal xylophone"; ...

•The only Coinola instrument in my literature collection that has solo flute pipes, xylophone, Indian block, triangle, cymbal, mandolin, tam- bourine, bass and snare drums is the Coinola CO that was introduced in the early 1920's. It was not on the 1919 price list but it is on the 1924 price list. *...

•I have several Seeburg nickelodeons for sale: 1. Seeburg K model with xylophone. Very clean insides but needs new veneer, as someone put straight sawn oak on it. They did a very good job but it's just not correct. We will furnish some 1/16" thick quartered oak veneer to the buyer of this nice piano...

•I have just finished restoring a Seeburg E, with xylophone. For those of you who are old time MBS members, I bought it from Eddie Fryer many years ago, when he lived in Flemington NJ. It played up a storm until five years ago when it became restoration time once again. Restoration was long, thoroug...

•Hi Group, In Art Reblitz's interesting comments regarding 4X-style xylophone rolls he mentions the instruments in a Nelson-Wiggen cabinet-style orchestrion "with piano, mandolin attachment, xylophone, snare drum and triangle." My question: is there a difference in instruments between the Nelson- Wi...
