Seek Music Strips for Kalliston Organette
By Kevin McElhone

I have recently acquired a Kalliston organette which plays a flat metal
band of music 12.5 cm wide.  It is the type with 24 reeds plus 4 bells,
making for a total of 28 keys in all.  I have only _one_ damaged piece
of music and I wonder if --

1. Does anyone have any original bands of music for sale?

2. Does anyone make _new_ bands of music?

3. If neither of the above, are any other owners interested in a re-cut
project, on the understanding that you will probably have to either
lend or at least photo-copy your original music as part of the exchange.
If we go down that route I would expect to have between 6 and 12 tunes
made.

4. If you have any tunes in your own collection please could you let me
know the titles for possible future reference.

I am also looking for metal organette discs for Lux 16-note, Libelle
18-note,  Mexon/Mezon/Iris 24-note instruments.

Many thanks
