Mid-size Pedal Player Organs
By Ed Schmidt

In response to Todd Augsberger's posting of 06.08.06 regarding mid-size
pedal player organs, I would like to add the American Orguinette
Style 2 and 3 to his list.  These instruments were pedal operated and
the roll was hand cranked.  They were 23-note machines using a key
frame.  They contained two sets of 23 reeds.  The holes in the paper
were the same size as paper-as-a-valve instruments.
