FS: Small Hand-cranked Street Organs in Texas
By Jim Quashnock

[ Ref. Larry Reece in 210805 MMD ]

Larry, I have three small crank organs that I would like to find a new
home for. Two are Schmider organs made in Germany. One is a 16-key,
the other a 24-key. Both play an endless loop of music, both come with
carts.

More music can be ordered from the manufacturer, who still makes the
organs and music. Tunes come as individual rolls, which are then taped
together to form an endless loop. Both organs made about 1976.

The third organ is a Pell 27-keyless book instrument made in 1986.
It comes with 36 books of music and is perfect working order.

All organs are located in Wichita Falls, Texas. I have posted YouTube
videos of all three instruments:
