Wurlitzer Organ Scales
By Mike Knudsen

Ron Bopp's new book announcement reminds me of a question I'd been
meaning to ask.  I held off until I could check the local library's copy
of "Barrel Organ", which does not contain the following info:

Is there a published list of the scales and registrations for the
various models of Wurlitzers?  Number of bass, accomp, melody, and
counter-melody notes, that sort of thing?

I understand that the 125 scale is smaller than the Raffin 31-note,
and that the 165 is much better, but what about the details of
everything in between?

Does Ron's new book include this tech data?  With "20 tables" I'd guess
so, but would like to know before I buy.
