There are several makers of new street organs, primarily located in
Europe and England. MMD subscriber Phil Jamison is currently compiling
a complete listing of all makers.  For the moment, it is important to
note the following makers, each of whom provides many different sizes
and options:

   From Germany, these roll-operated organs: Delieka, Raffi,
   Yager and Brommer.  Hofbauer also offers chip-operated organs.

   From England: McCarthy, Pell, Dean. Pell also offers chip organs.
   Book operated organs.

   From France:  Ludion.  There are at least 6-8 other makers, plus
   another dozen or so organs that can be custom ordered.

Those seriously interested in street organs and organ grinding might
want to consider joining the British Organ Grinders Association. Hal
O'Rourke, a MMD subscriber, can provide details about joining BOGA.

The complete listing should be available in the near future for posting
in the MMD. During 1997, there might also be one or two articles
published in the  Musical Box Society News Bulletin about new organs.
