I am seeking information about an E. P. Needham organette my uncle
is interested in restoring. This is a hand-cranked instrument, about
four feet tall, which apparently uses 34-note rolls about 18" wide.
Unfortunately, we have no rolls for it. Pictures of the instrument
can be seen at http://users.penn.com/~lairda/Needham/ .
If you can help, we would like know:
1) What did Needham call this model?
2) Was a feed roll used, or did the roll just hang loose
behind the bellows?
3) When was it manufactured?
4) Are rolls available?
5) What resources, in addition to MMD, might help with unanswered
questions?
Thank you very much.
