I can't remember if I have said it before, but I have a rare
hard-to-find Ariosa No. 1 organette that I would like to sell
(around $450) or exchange for something else. It plays an 18-note
metal doughnut ring. See Bowers' Encyclopedia, page 751.
It has a clean case, some woodworm damage in the past, but not much.
It comes with 6 rings but needs restoring. I have managed to find the
larger 24-note Phoenix model so this one has to go. I have not even
opened it up -- any suggestions welcome.
