A player reed organ, maybe a 20-note organette, plays "A Ragtime
Skedaddle" on a 1902 phonograph recording of "Sidewalks of New York",
performed by the American Quartet. Here is the link for the audio:

[ At time 1:46, following "London Bridge", a child's voice says,
[ "Almighty! Here comes the hand organ man! I want to play, too!"
Could somebody tell me what organette roll number is playing? It's
based on the 20-note organette scale. I will send a MIDI transcription
(as I've heard it on the record.)
