Draper's Orchestral Organette
By Kevin McElhone

There is a 14-note, 28-reed Draper's Orchestral Organette for sale
on eBay at the moment.  It is currently over $1,000.

These are a wonderful loud machine with three stops on the top to
allow one or both sets of reeds to speak, and the third stop is for
a 'swell/mute' shutter.  The reeds are 8-foot and 4-foot pitch, but
tuned in slight 'celeste' to give a wavering sound.

A good friend of mine has one of these for sale over here in England.
I am sure he would sell it for only $900 if anyone is interested?
Please contact me for his phone number (he is a member of MBSGB).
