I am writing in response to your call for updates to the MMD's links pages:
https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/202402/2024.02.07.01.html 

When I reviewed these pages I found that even just within my own very
narrow interest in the mechanical music world -- cob roller organs and
the rollers or "cobs" made to play on them -- the entries in the links
were very outdated, and I am submitting this posting to update them.

As many MMDers know, I have the world's largest collection of different
roller organ cobs (all but about a dozen of the 1,050+ cobs made for
the 20-note (Gem, Concert, Chautauqua) organ and all but four of the
160 cobs made for the 32-note (Grand) organ), and in connection with
my cob collecting I have compiled statistics in over 600 roller organ
cob transactions over now close to fifty years as to the frequency with
which each cob has turned up and I have assigned a scarcity rating to
each cob.

I have also done extensive research about the tunes that appeared
on cobs including locating sources of sheet music for them and
information about the context and times in which they were written
and the in some cases very obscure composers who wrote them, all of
which I have compiled, along with the scarcity ratings, into the form
of a constantly further evolving online book titled "Dutton's Roller
Organ Cob Handbook".

When I began work on the book in 2007, my late friend and fellow
roller organ enthusiast, Todd Augsburger, provided me with a section
of the website he had created, www.rollerorgans.com, on which
I posted sections of my book as I completed them.

After Todd's tragic and untimely death in 2011, another now late friend
of mine, -- the brilliant engineering genius, inventor of a cob pinning
machine, and roller organ fanatic -- Charlie Moore, and I took over the
website and it continued to evolve and expand. Since Charlie's sudden
death in 2020, I have been further continuing the website by myself,
dedicating it to the memory of Todd and Charlie (having added photos
of both of them to the home page), and I am very happy with the way it
is proceeding.

Although it is now completely my website, I have continued to use the
name "Todd Augsburger's Roller Organ Website" in his memory and because
he both established it and made very substantial contributions to it.
Accordingly, the entries in the MMD links concerning Todd, Charlie and
the website now need to be updated, as follows:

Under "Books", the Todd Augsburger entry should be removed, as I do
not sell roller organ books through the website, but a new entry with
my name (Richard Dutton) and the website https://rollerorgans.com/ 
should be added with a notation following "Desc" that the website
includes the now completed but continually further evolving online book,
"Dutton's Roller Organ Cob Handbook".

Under "Organ Rolls/Strips/Cardboard" the Todd Augsburger entry should
be revised by substituting my name (Richard Dutton) following "Vendor"
and the email address I use (rld@rollerorgans.com) in connection with
the website following "Email" .

Under "Miscellaneous", the entry for "Todd Augsburger's Roller Organs"
should be changed to read "Todd Augsburger's Roller Organ Website" and
the location of Kenton, Ohio (where Todd lived) should be deleted.

Also, Charlie Moore had a website of his own, www.honorrolls.net, from
which he sold roller organ cobs he made using his pinning machine,
both reproductions of original cobs and hundreds of new cobs he made
containing other music, and he included on the website recordings of
all of the tunes as they appeared on the cobs.

While this website no longer exists, it can be accessed as it was at
various previous points in time through the Wayback Machine website of
the Internet Archive [*] and perhaps this should be stated as a point
of interest in the "No Longer in Business" section of the links so that
anyone interested can access a list of all the new cobs Charlie made
and listen to the tunes on them. The current listing for Honor Rolls
with the website's previous name, www.honorrolls.com, in the "Organ
Rolls/Strips/Cardboard" section of the links, however, should in any
event be deleted.
