Hello Jody, name is Graeme Bond. My uncle and I are interested in
building a barrel organ. I have only known of this instrument through
my uncle who is very enthusiastic about this line of instruments.
He is quite amazing at machining custom parts and their assembly so I was
wondering how we could acquire some drawings or plans for the construction
of this legendary instrument. I hope this is not too much trouble.

[ Graeme, I'm going to sign you up to receive the Mechanical Music
[ Digest, and will post your inquiry tonight. We have been asked this
[ question before and have never had a satisfactory answer from the
[ group. There are many people interested in doing this, however. What
[ I would like to know is do you care whether the organ plays music from
[ a barrel, or if it plays music punched in paper or cardboard ?
