its the note-scale originally provided by Carl Frei, used by J. Raffin then became _the_ Standard-Note-Scale for Paper-roll-monkey-crank-organs.
its used as 20, 24, 26 and even as 28 note-scale
if u have a 20 note organ, u can play all these rolls, except those specially arranged for 26 or 28...
Here some people providing these rolls:
Germany:
Orgelbau J. Raffin, Abigstrasse 9, 7770 UEberlingen/Bodensee Edi Hoffmann, Denkingen-M¸hlgarten 5, 88630 Pfullendorf Edgar Werner, Kissinger Str. 58, Nuedlingen/Ufr. Drehorgelbau Schlemmer, Dietensteig 14, 7460 Balingen-Frommen Orgelbau Goeckel, 69254 Malsch/Heidelberg Rudolf Klomfar, OEschleweg 12, 78655 Dunningen-Lackendorf Jaeger & Brommer, Am Gewerbekanal 5, 79183 Waldkirch
France:

England:
Ian Alderman, Old St James, Chedington, Beaminster, Dorset DT8 3HY Melvin Wright, 11 Edendale Road, Melton Mowbray, Leics. LE13 OEW
There are many others, not evryone is making good music, and some simply copy the products of the others...
For my family has 3 organs upon the 20-note-scale (1 accordeon-like, 1 normal doubble-flute and 1 concert-organ with 24-note-scale and meanwhile 6 registers/70 pipes; all from the "Mercedes" under the german-paper-roll-monkey-crank-organ-builders: _J._Raffin_ ), and for me detecting that the arrangements arn't the way I would like to hear them or sing to or whatever, I`m making my own music... ...but it takes lots of time to punch them manually... ...and I`m still busy with school and other stuff, so... ...I couldn't make very much of them up to now... ...and there would be _thousands_ of titles worth to arrange for the 20-note-scale, for I think _evrything_ can be done on this scale!
A friend of mine is going to buy a chromatic-monkey-crank-organ, but using fold-cardboard-books and about 50 notes or so... Its much easier to make music for that instrument, but for my point its more fun to make music for the 20-note-scale for the music takes less space in our music-room and the music really has to be _arranged_ for it.
