Greetings, I am seeking any information on the Mignon organette
for an article in the Carousel Organ, Journal of the Carousel Organ
Association of America. There is some excellent information in Bowers'
Encyclopedia and McElhone's Organette Book; I could find no other
references to this unique instrument, which features a very early
attempt at "stereo sound." Hans van Oost also wrote a piece for MMD
in the year 2000:

I am especially seeking information about the 32-note models, which
are apparently scarce. Sources of all information will be credited
in the article.
