I had always understood that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was filmed
over here in the UK.  As such, the above comment sent me on a quest.
The search began...  Using "The Mother of all Search Engines"
( http://www.mamma.com/ ) I came across the following site:

    http://www.starseeker.com/

Following the link for Movies 'S-Z', scrolling down to "Who Framed
Roger Rabbit", using the link for 'More Detail' and finally  the link
'Complete cast and crew' I came across a long list of credits,
including both US and UK production crew.

Thus, it would appear that parts of the film were shot in the UK.  This
does not, unfortunately, answer the question as to the identity of the
mystery organ, but the 89 key Gaudin is back in the running...
