Aeolian Orchestrelle Tracker Bar Repair
By Berley Firmin

Hi All,  My Orchestrelle had been butchered by someone who thought
88-note piano rolls would sound better on it.  The extra holes were
coupled to playing notes.

I took an orphan 65-note tracker bar and cut it near one end to shorten
the overall length, then soldered it back -- you can't see the joint!

Mr. Berley Firmin II
