The Fair Organ Preservation Society magazine, The Key Frame, carried a
report on fair organs in Cuba in edition 1, 1995.  So that everyone can
read it, I've just spent 1-1/2 hours setting the article up on our web
site.  Just go to:

    http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~fops/

and select magazine articles.  The article title is "Caribbean Dream".

Enjoy!
