Simple Mechanical Musical Instrument for Museum
By Mark Williamson

Marcel Models in the UK stock a kit for making an 8-note organ out
of paper and cardboard.  By the description it plays from a roll
you punch yourself:  http://www.marcle.co.uk/catap55.html

This is probably not robust enough for Mark's purposes (I have some
experience of 5-year-olds!) but it might give a few ideas.

I did think that maybe visitors to the museum could purchase a kit
to build there and then take the finished organ home with them,
but at 22 pounds sterling (plus postage), it's not cheap!
