•I followed Ed's link to his Caliola webpage and saw there a nice Caliola with side drums (not so common) and what looks like brass pipes instead of wood ones. The brass-pipe Caliola is even less common. Am I right in remembering that there is only one other one known besides the one at Washington's...

•After seeing the link to the image of the QRS 78 RPM record, I thought people might be interested to know that QRS also sold radio tubes. I recently ran across an old add for these.

•Here is a link to two vintage J. C. Deagan photographs. The first is the Deagan endless roll player. The rolls were two selections long, and the whole thing hung on the wall. The second photo is unidentified for the moment. It shows a very large set of harmonically tuned bells being erected, I woul...

•Regarding the eBay link at the end of 030517 MMDigest to a Packard piano "made by Packard Motor Cars." I suspect the seller may be a bit misinformed about the history of his offering. Packard Motorcar Company was a Detroit automobile business from 1902 until their demise in 1956. They had no operat...

•I found this link and found it fascinating. It shows the way all metal organ pipes are made, but these happen to be an octave of 32-foot Diapasons for a church in Los Angeles. http://www.giesecke.de/prospektpfeifen_e.htm Go to the link and click on picture number one, hitting "next" on each page th...

•Greetings: Here's a link to an interesting article in today's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel about Arnold Neuhaus, a local character and craftsman.
