Seek Seybold Accordion Tracker Bar Scale
By Kees Bimmel

Dear Jody, I have a question for you, I got your address from
Johnny Claes, chairman of the Belgium Mechamusica. I have a few
self-built automatic playing instruments.

I have a box with rolls for a Seybold accordion. The width of the
paper is 115 millimeter [4.5 inches] and with 42 or 43 holes. The roll
plays on a Philipps tracker bar attached to a self-made instrument.

My problem is to get an acceptable sound or melody out of the
instrument. I am looking for the sequence of the notes (gamma).
I hope you can help me with this.

Greetings and best wishes,
Kees Bimmel
