Okay, so the "Memory Lane Special" on Paul Eakins' album Nickel Music,
AFSD 5960, is built up to a Style CO, and the "Eakins Special" is
a built up Coinola Reproduco a.k.a. the "Beale Street Special", then
what instrument do you think is the first Coinola Orchestrion described,
having solo flute pipes, xylophones, snare and bass drums, tympani,
cymbal, Indian block, triangle, castanets and tambourine?
I would also like to thank the members who have sent in their scans
of the Coinola instruments. Now if I could only find more recordings
of these beauties.
