FS: Hooghuys "Condor" 100-key Dance Organ
By Bjorn Isebaert

It is with great sadness that I am doing this, but there is no other
way...  Marc Hooghuys (great-grandson of organ builder Louis Hooghuys)
has asked me to inform you that the well-known 100-key Hooghuys dance
organ "Condor" is for sale.

The organ is currently located in the Boudenwijnpark in Bruges
(Belgium) and is in need of some restoration (woodworm treatment and
general revision), but it is complete and comes with about 25 books
arranged by Romain Charles Hooghuys.  The organ will go to the highest
bidder, but only on condition that the organ will get the treatment it
deserves (so no 'decoration only').

If you are interested in a serious way, please contact Marc Hooghuys
directly:

  Marc Hooghuys
  tel.: +32 (0) 50 54 78 30
  email: <hooghuys.ma@belgacom.net>

Marc does not check his e-mail daily, so please be patient.
