Jack Littlepage inquired about his Reed-Pipe Clariona. The "Reed-Pipe"
device fits over the music roll and gives the organette some
expression. Hopefully, Jack's still has the reed-pipe device attached.
An excellent source for rolls for the Clariona and other organettes is
Ed Schmidt's Music Rolls. His Web site is:

Ed also has many parts for these great little instruments and is very
helpful with all aspects of them. His mail address is:

As to value, in July 1996 we purchased a Reed-Pipe Clariona in good
restored condition with the reed-pipe resonator in place for US$625.
Hope this helps.
