Hello, Some Hooghuys organs have an accordion register. A known
example, the 100-key "Condor" had this register, but it was replaced
with a Musette. Other dance organs that have been less altered may
still have this register. I'd imagine there is at least one example
of it surviving.

Of course this is not an actual accordion as what is found on Decap
organs and the like. It is my guess that the accordion on these organs
is probably just a box with free reeds, as this is what was done on the
first few Mortiers with accordions. However I am not certain on this
fact, so if this is not true, please correct me!

Also, if anybody knows if there are recordings available of the
Mandolin or Guitar register that exists on some organs, please send
them to me.

Thank you,
Christian Tedesco
