Hi, I could use some help on the note placement of a Wellerhaus key
system that plays folded cardboard panels. I'm doing some research
because the machine we are restoring has "Gebrueder Wellerhaus, Sarn,
Ruhr" on the front of it. There is reason to believe this machine
was originally a barrel organ that was converted to play the "Story
card" system.
If it helps anyone this machine was part of the DeBence collection
which is now housed in downtown Franklin, Pennsylvania. There are
58 keys on this machine and several of the tubes have come apart and
we don't know where they go. Thanks as always.
