Converting Orchestrelle to Play 88-Note Rolls
By Bruce Clark 

Since you asked for my opinion, it should be brought to your attention
that organ playing and piano playing are completely different
techniques.

88-note piano rolls played on a organ produces music that is choppy
and incomplete.  Therefore, such a conversion would only succeed in
satisfying the taste of those who do not know the difference between
good piano and good organ playing.
