P.S. - If you know where else to post the below note, please let me know. I didn't have much luck in finding a newsgroup or mailing list that might be interested in player pianos, organs, or the below melodian. Thanks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <<I know of a customer in Phoenix that has an 1870 Melodian, which is a small desk-like instrument with only one main bellows and reeds for each note, about 40 notes. The only thing that need be done is a bellows cloth replacement, some flap valves, and a small crack or two in the bellows board, which is driven by a linkage to the pedal. The whole thing weighs about 40 pounds and is half the size of a card table. Anyone with decent player or organ rebuilding experience should have no trouble, but I cannot get to it in a reasonable amount of time and am trying to find someone that can do the job for the lady. If you might be able to help, e-mail me. Thanks Bill Simon>>
