Dear Todd and Others,
I have found a very clear photograph of the Concert Grand reproduced
on page 311 of Orde-Hume's "Barrel Organ". The side handles are
plain, with 3 screws and the bail (handle) pivots on its two ends so
that it lies recessed within the frame at rest. Is this sufficient
description? I can scan the image, if necessary.
I have never seen one of these in real life. Please give us some
details when you're done.
Regards,
Robert Linnstaedt
