Seek Help for Discographies and Rollographies
By Kevin McElhone

I continue to try to catalog the numbers, titles and composers (where
given) of the following types of music and would like to put in my
'annual appeal for help'.  (Yes, it was Sept 1999 when I last mentioned
this project).

Please can you send me any details to help fill in the gaps for:-

  Ariston 16,19,24,36-note card discs
  Amorette 16,19,24,36-note metal discs
  Helikon 16-note card discs  (I need to buy some of these if possible.)
  Mezon/Iris 24-note metal disc
  Diana 14-note
  Lucia 12-note
  Intona, Ariosa, Phoenix  16,18,24,37-note metal doughnut rings

In fact _any_ organette discs or rolls.

For roller organ cobs please see Todd Augsberger's web page for missing
numbers as there are only a few needed to complete this list now.

I am also working on the following rolls:-

  Pianostyle 88-note
  Aeolian 46-note Organ
  Schiedmayer Scheola Organ
  Wilcox & White 58-note organ/pushup

Musical Box Discs -- ALL types & sizes, particularly Polyphon & Regina
which do not appear in the listings in the 'Disc Musical Box Handbook'
by Graham Webb.

Any help would be appreciated.  If you have any un-identified music
please ask, I may be able to help.

Already completed and available as booklets:

  Aeolian 58,116,176-note organ rolls
  Artona 88-note piano rolls

Many Thanks in advance,
Kevin McElhone
