Bill's note jogged a memory of mine. There is a fellow named Nelson
Pease in Palmer, Massachusetts, who not only has a nice personal
collection of reed organs but also he and his wife, Beverly, run a
music store in Palmer catering to old automatic music.
The last time we were there, they had showrooms full of unrestored
player pianos, reed organs and other musical novelties of times gone
past. They also have a large inventory of player piano rolls of all
types as well as music box discs including many Regina 15-1/2 inchers.
All of this is used but at VERY reasonable prices. I don't know that
they do much mail order business and certainly they don't have lists of
piano rolls and music box discs but anyone in the neighborhood would do
themselves a favor by stopping in.
They are just a few miles down the road from Old Sturbridge Village in
Massachusetts so they are right on "tourist trail". The address is:
Nelson Pease
43 Foundry Street
Palmer, MA 01069
(413) 283-7620
I hope this is of interest.
