"A" Roll Tracker Bar Connections for Calliope
By Al Good
I purchased the custom-built "A" roll player unit offered here
a month or so ago [150820 MMDigest]. It had been connected to
a 32-note calliope, which was sold separately.
I also bought two "A" rolls; one is marked "Clark Orchestra Rolls
A-102X for 65-note Rewind Electric Pianos". Does the "X" indicate that
the tracker bar scale was modified to accommodate the 32-note scale?
With help from a couple COAA friends I plan to make an air calliope
using wood organ pipes. Many of the tubes coming off the tracker bar
have a "y" connection to another hole in the tracker bar. Is there
a tracker bar scale available anywhere for this type modification?
Thanks for your comments. My email is
