For those who are interested in the B.A.B. Organ Company I have sent
a copy of an original letterhead. The letter from my archive discusses
B.A.B. dealings with Euclid Beach Park in Cleveland, Ohio.
At one time Euclid Beach Park had four band organs that used B.A.B.
music. They had a 46-key Artizan, two 87-key North Tonawanda Musical
Instrument band organs, and the large 110-key Gavioli which is now in
my collection. Note that a 46-key roll cost $30.00 in 1956!
Incidentally, Euclid Beach Park never ordered more 110-key music. The
blank 110-key cardboard today resides with the B.A.B. shop items in
Nevada City, Montana.
