Nelson-Wiggen Style 4X vs. Style 5X
By Lloyd Osmundson

Hi Group,  In Art Reblitz's interesting comments regarding
4X-style xylophone rolls he mentions the instruments in a Nelson-Wiggen
cabinet-style orchestrion "with piano, mandolin attachment, xylophone,
snare drum and triangle."

My question: is there a difference in instruments between the Nelson-
Wiggen 4X and the 5X?  I've heard yes and no.  I know the case of the
5X is taller.
