Horror Story: Aeolian Orchestrelle
By D. L. Bullock

I have two Aeolian Orchestrelles that are all there, thank goodness,
and I will probably restore this year.  One of these had some brat
stick an awl in one hole in the wooden tracker bar and rip it to one
side then the other, ripping out all the little wooden dividers between
the tracker bar holes.  This means that instead of 58 holes there is
one very wide one.

Anyone have ideas about putting these back or making a new wooden
trackerbar?  I seriously doubt I would ever find a replacement.
