•In MMD 050221 Ralph Schultz asked for the coin mechanism of a 14-inch Criterion. I do not have such an instrument but if Ralph's problem concentrates on how the push-button-mechanism (and the missing parts related to it) would have functioned, might be I could contribute to solve the problem. Recen...

•Re: Ralph Schultz's posting in yesterday's MMD Please read the Addendum below quoted from Craig Smith's post on this subject in the 100805 MMD: "[Later] Addendum -- Based on the pictures you sent me, I can see that the design of your Stella box does _not_ incorporate a wrap spring clutch like the M...

•The post about the Schultz Aria Divina is an interesting one. I think that I have only seen one, a small grand in a Louis cabinet many years ago. We read about a lot of rare systems. Unfortunately, a huge problem tends to be connected to the music library available for each. I really hope that we s...

My recent attempts to transfer Schultz documentation to Harry Couchman in Australia has provoked an interesting response. Perhaps others among us have found a better way. The process I ended us using emerged out of several unsuccessful attempts to similarly help other people. Unexpected problems eme...

Correct? >> No musical expertise needed? John Tuttle said: > Yes: no musical ability is required. Put the roll in and pump. ...

•I sent your note to Svato Schutzner, a Czech ex-colleague of mine at the Library of Congress, to see what he might know about your organ firm. He provided no information about the firm, but shed this light on the wording you quoted. Matthew Caulfield - - - Horovice (with hachek on the r) is a charm...

•The first one for me was a Schultz, and fortunately Player Piano Co. had instructions on how to rebuild and also a complete kit. Since then I take photos, up, down, and around. Lots of them. When the spool box is laying in front of you with all those pieces, it helps to have a photo to see which wa...

•I don't know what Ralph Schultz's Mills converter was built for, but I can corroborate his suspicion that it was not built to power a radio. I can also answer the question, "Why not just have a radio to plug into 110 volts?" The earliest battery operated radios had A, B, and C batteries. The A batt...

•In the 160411 MMD Matt Schultz asked for catalogs of Play-Rite's 88-note rolls. I don't know of any, but there must have been some issued, because Play-Rite produced so very many 88-note rolls at one time in the past. Play-Rite had two manufacturing sites in Turlock, California. The one still in op...

•SM rolls were made by Felix Schüller in Leipzig.

•I recently (eight months ago) acquired a 1961 Schulmerich Bell instrument composed of two 5-octave sets of bells. One set is consists of 61 steel bars with solenoid strikers and magnetic pickups. The bars are specially ground and fixed with brass collars, the result being that the first four partia...

•I simply have to add my comments about Ralph Schultz' Violano bow wheels. I replaced my original wheels, which were playing very well, with Ralph's about four years ago. His play clearer. They're great and well worth the price. Ed Gloeggler Long Beach, New York

•I'm looking for recommendations on the transport of a Schulmerich carillon with console from Detroit to the San Francisco Bay area. This is the carillon described in the Archives at 2001.03.04.06.

•Hello Mr. Schultz and MMDers. Back in the 1960's I visited a Mr. Zimbalist at his business tucked away on an upper floor in the warehouse district west of Public Square in Cleveland, Ohio. He was busily engaged assembling contemporary musical movements by Reuge and Thorens into fancy small boxes he...
