Seek Organette Illustrations for Book
By Kevin McElhone

I am researching Organettes at this time, but am not able to find
photographs of the following organettes.

If you are able to help do please contact me as soon as possible.
If at all possible I would prefer a good series of photographs of
an instrument taken _outdoors_ if possible , although I would be happy
to have a photo-copy of an old advert for rare machines that probably
do not exist today.

'P' that means I have an old advert but would like a photograph.

Amabile - any
Ariston FAN instrument  - P
Ariston 36 note - Upright model
Atlas - P - a front view showing a nice transfer with the name on

Some of these strangely-named instruments just appear to be mentioned
by name in various publications over the last 40 years; I don't always
know which country they were made in, let alone which company made
them.  If you have any information I would be interested to hear from
you.

With thanks in advance,  Kevin McElhone
