Hello. We have a 20-key barrel organ by Molinari & Sons, New York,
which is in dire need of tuning. I am unable to locate any information
on the order of pitches, and the process in which to tune such a
delightful instrument. I assume these were tuned to A-435. I welcome
any advice and information. I thank you in advance!

[ Kyle has tuned and maintained big pipe organs for many years but
[ the little 20-key diatonic organ may be a new experience. What is
[ the recommended procedure for tuning the pipes by ear? -- Robbie
