Seek World's Smallest Self-Playing Pipe Organ
By Phillip Dami

Bonjour a tous!  Who knows the smallest automatic pipe organ in the
world?  I am looking for pictures and information, only about very
small automatic pipe organs, barrel- or band-organs, with bellows
(without reeds).  I know of the working mechanical 8-note paper
(cutout) organ designed and published by Benjamin Hurdle, UK, and
I saw some serinettes and flute clocks of the Black Forest and also
the John Smith 20-note busker organ.

If anyone can be of help to tell me more about tiny flute clocks or
miniature crank pipe organs, please feel free to email me.  Thank you
in advance.

Best regards,
Phillip Dami

PS: Maybe the future of mechanical music is still in a new crank
organette, a pling-plong or a xylomatic?
