Music Rolls For the John Smith 20-note Organ
By Hal O'Rourke

The rolls used by this organ are _not_ the standard 20-note rolls
available from many sources.  The scale is the same, but the organ
has no pneumatic action, and so the holes in the music have to be
larger than the standard holes, and the paper has to be wider to
accommodate those larger holes.

As far as I know, Melvyn Wright is the only independent music arranger
producing music for this organ, having 300 titles available.  What he
sells is only paper masters to use as a guide for self punching (actual
usable rolls are not available).  He also can supply spools and blank
paper, etc., if desired.

Contact me privately if you need further information.
