Imhof & Mukle Orchestrion at eBay Auction
By Andrew Barrett

There's an Imhof & Mukle orchestrion at eBay, item number 139465492.
The instrument is coming from the Isle of Man and is barrel operated,
with 50 keys and 160 pipes (so the seller says); the price so far is
$50,000.

The instrument has been converted to electric, but the original weight
drive is present.  A museum piece!  Just want everyone to know.

Sincerely,
Andrew Barrett

 [ Mike Ames adapted his Imhof & Mukle barrel organ to play from
 [ computer music files.  It sounds wonderful.  He left the barrel
 [ and weight drive intact, but unrestored, for a future owner.
 [ Save your money, Andrew!  ;)  -- Robbie
