Replacement Costs of Instruments
By Stephen B. Small

Am curious concerning the replacement value of the following:

1.  Mills single Violano, complete (with exception of electronic
converter) 5c single model mahogany case in excellent condition & for
original boxed rolls as well as the cost of recuts.

2.  Ampico B Marshall & Wendell, player restored by Brougher, shaded and
inlaid Spanish art case with gild and paint, approx. 5'2/3" and with
metal insets in legs.  The value of short, medium and long playing A & B
rolls, original and new.

3.  Current values on museum quality pump organs or what would be a good
reference for that.

I am also curious if anyone has any wooden case floor model musical slot
machines and at what price.

Finally, I believe I have an investor who would consider financing a cd
version new player piano-violin/flute and wonder if anyone knows of a
good fabricator of violins and the possibility of mechanizing a flute
(rather than using flute pipes).  Any help would be appreciated.
