Paillard 11" Cylinder Tune Lists
By David Evans

Hi,  Many years ago I had through my hands a small interchangeable
musical box by Paillard with cylinders that were about 11" length.
It came with a Paillard advert leaflet listing the tunes that could
be supplied, 'kept in stock in London' on one side, and 'not kept in
stock in London' on the other.  Unfortunately I did not make a note of
the exact size of the cylinders, but I did keep a copy of the leaflet.
It describes the box as Style 801.

In the hope that these are what Joe Villani needs, I offer the following:

Cylinder 11
  Athalie - march (War March of the Priests is its other name)
  La Priere d'une Vierge
  Louis XIII, gavotte
  La dernier pensee de Weber
  Mozart's Requiem
  La clochette du patre

Cylinder 55
  The girl I left behind me
  The white cockade
  Climbing up the golden stairs
  Emmett's lullaby
  White wings
  Pretty little darling, I love you

Cylinder 76
  Norma, Casta diva
  Tannhauser, o du mein holder
  Rigoletto, cavatine
  Don Giovanni, minuetto
  La Traviata, romance
  Der Feldprediger, march

Cylinder 110 is not listed.  The first two were kept in stock in London,
the last was not.

I hope that (a) this is the right information -- playing the cylinders
should give clues as to whether it is likely to be right, and (b), it
was helpful!
