Hi, I have two questions:
1) I have an automatic piano, maybe Aeolian. It uses standard rolls,
works with pedals (not motor) and inside at the top right there is a
number 7256. Could somebody tell me something about it?
2) I am making a big clock which will play 7 songs, one for each day of
the week. I would like to use reeds of monkey organs (I buy them in an
Italian factory) and to use 24 VDC relays as valves. A motor will move
the bellows.
Could somebody send me a drawing, ideas and advice about building bellows
and valves?
Thank you
Best regards from sunny North Italy
