Kimball Player Pump Organ for sale, bo. Info needed

[Roger C Hayden]

Richard,

A while ago I had signed onto a Reed organ society list.  I think I found
it by searching the net for "Reed Organ"  I was amazed at the interest
and expertize found in that group.  Find them and offer them your organ. 
Several folks there will probably already know what you have.  I believe
it was based in England, but messages were from all over the USA.  ROS -
-  Reed Organ Society.

happy hunting.
