•Apparently, there were recordings made of the mechanical music instruments at Disney World in Orlando. Does anyone know the titles of these records/tapes/CD's and how to find them and/or buy them? Thanks for any info you have.

•The request in the last Digest for a source for a long-roll tracker frame and a triangle for a Wurlitzer orchestrion leads me to throw out this question to MMD readers: All the original Wurlitzer band organ triangles I have seen are distinctive in that one of the two open ends of a Wurlitzer triang...

•Something's wrong with the List: nobody's mentioned the 4-letter "G" word for a week! Let me help... What is the proper glue to fasten wooden pipes to the wind chest or pipe stand in "monkey-grinder" organs? The pipes have tapered wooden stems that fit into matching holes in the chest, where they a...

•Dear Babs, Ask Hans van Oost (active in the MMD); he is the secretary of the board of the "Kring van Draaiorgelvrienden" (KDV), the Dutch street organ society. The KDV is producing tapes and CD's with organ music. So Hans will be glad to be at help, I think. And he also will be able to give you som...

•Dear MMDIans, Having been active in the chat rooms and such I have made some friends out here in the Bay Area who have CD burning programs. This means they can make CDs from tapes, LPs, or just about any audio source. Now I do have the LP "Mammoth Fair Organ" from London Record. The number of this ...

•I frequently watch the 'Antique Road Show' and I find it wise to keep in mind who sponsors the show. They are in business to sell insurance, and when the program was taped in San Antonio at the Convention Center it became apparent to me what was really going on. As you entered the exhibit hall, lar...

•John Tuttle asks, "Did anyone notice if the URL for QRS was mentioned?" I taped it, just reviewed it again, and no mention of its URL. However, the response you got is yet another great example of the Internet at its finest. I thought it was a neat piece, and a good hint of what we will get to see ...

•Frank, I have eight tunes for the 16-note Schmider monkey organ. To make the endless loop, the songs are taped together in the desired combination and order. The tunes that I have are: Battle Hymn of the Republic It's a Small World La Paloma My Fair Lady O Mein Papa Schnee Waltzer Valentia Wien Wie...

•Wayne's description of a pneumatic roll reader sounds interesting. I considered making a similar device. I got the idea from observing float type flow meters. Using a tapered flow meter tube would allow for adjustment of the switch point to a specific flow. I considered how many mechanical and elec...

•My twin, Dick Leonard, has a Marantz Vorsetzer for sale. It is in excellent original condition with 50 tapes. Price $800. He is in San Francisco and his telephone is 415-665-7916. Thank You Grant Leonard

•Regarding the upcoming Lowell, MA performance of "Ballet Mecanique", will any CDs or tapes of the performance be available after the performance? Jim Cook

•I'm restoring an art case grand which has a duet style matching piano bench, currently covered in a tapestry. In my mind's eye, it cries out for a needlepoint cover, featuring a musical motif of some kind. The traditional suppliers of such a product do not seem to carry anything but piano bench cov...

•In Digest 01.01.06, George Bogatko suggested preserving the Pianocorder music library: > Has the information from these tapes been converted to something more > stable? I would hate to think that we are faced with yet another > mechanical control media that is failing and not being preserved. In 19...

•Eliyahu, I would suggest you drill a small diameter hole in the screw head and then insert an "Easy-Out" to back the screw out. If you're not familiar with them, they look sort of like a tapered drill bit with the threads reversed. As you "un-screw" the Easy-Out it grabs the old screw tighter and t...

•Following the thread on metals used in Polyphon disks, at an auction I purchased a portable 9" Polyphon along with a dozen disks which had been nicely wrapped in paper and taped up securely. The auctioneer assured us there were 12 disks and they'd been wrapped for protection. Can you see what's com...

•Has anyone had any recent dealings with Gay '90s Village in Sikeston, Missouri? It's now just the business that sells recordings. I ordered three band organ tapes from them on December 1st. The check was cashed promptly on Dec. 7th, and the tapes still haven't arrived. We called there last week and...

•A few days ago Dafe Campfield asked where he could find some band organ recordings. I suggest a visit to http://www.carousels.com/muscat.htm for a large selection of cassette tapes and CDs. Also, there are ten MP3 sound files at http://www.draaiorgelmuseum.org/engels.htm that are of machines in exc...

•If you want to obtain recordings of either of Ken's Smith's organs, they are available from Dr. Bill Black's Carousel Music. There are three 1-hour-long tapes of each one. Bruce R. Pier [ Visit http://www.carousels.com/cmusic.htm -- Robbie

•Does anyone reading the MMDigest remember the recording project, "Original Player Piano Roll Gems"? This looks like a three 8-track set. The tapes have a 1975 copyright by "The Crackerbarrel." Also it looks like "The Crackerbarrel" distributed the tapes. The number of the set is No. 221T and the ta...
