David,

what a great story! Thanks!

Was this Magnus related to the Magnus Chord Organ (plastic reeds in a
particle-board-veneer case) I played at home in the late 50's?

I learned a lot of theory by matching keyboard notes to the sound of chord
buttons. Ah, the memories. Major, Minors, Sevenths. That's all I know, now.
Stuck. <grin>
