Hi all,  Q. David Bowers has a new book available for your delight and
education.  It is entitled "The Encyclopedia of American Organettes"
and is 324 pages packed full of wonderful information, pictures of
original literature, black and white ads and full color photographs of
instruments which date back to 1870 through 1910.

The book has 5 chapters dealing with such important items as the
History of Organettes, The Organette in Popular Culture, Aspects of
Organettes and Collecting them, European Organettes, Organette
Miscellany, and there also 28 chapters which cover companies that made
organettes here in the U.S.  There is also included an easy-finding
list of organette names and trademarks.

This would make a wonderful addition to your collection of musical
instrument books, your collection of Q. David Bowers titles, or would
make a great gift for that special someone who enjoys automatic music
instruments of various varieties.
