Seek Orchestrion Tubing Diagram

That sounds like one of the pianos from Resource West, Inc.,
earlier known as the Ragola Company and the Antique Nickelodeon
Company.  They supplied O-roll-playing "nickelodeons" built upon
new pianos like Sojin and Aeolian, and individual components.
There is, or was, a tie-in with QRS, too.

I don't really know the history of the company, but since they
appear to still be in business here is their web site:
