The Mighty Barrel Organ
By Graeme Bond

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 ?
 [
 [ Jody
