Re: Band Organs on CD
By Rob DeLand

Welcome to the MMD, Bill.  Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think we've
actually discussed band organ CD's yet, so you've brought up a good new
subject!  Reproducing pianos, yes, but not band organs.

I have 2 such CD's which I can recommend highly, of a large Belgian
organ made by the Steenput Freres company.  My CD's are of a large,
recently-restored organ owned by Jim & Sherrie Krughoff, called De
Grote Steenput.  Volume 1 is light classical overtures with a total
time of 73:58, and Volume 2 is popular selections with a total time of
71:41.  I bought the CD's while visiting the organ in the Chicago area
during last summer's MBSI convention.  I know the Krughoff's well and
would be happy to see about getting copies for you.

I don't have any others.  I'll bet there are some CD's of good
Wurlitzer and Dutch machines somewhere, and I wouldn't mind acquiring
some of these myself.  I have a lot of LP's including Paul Eakins stuff
and others from the Klavier label, the latter of which have probably
been transferred to CD's.  I would prefer new, digital recordings
myself.  There are also a few cassette recordings sold by organ owners
like Ron Bopp, but I guess we want to focus this thread on CD's.

Nancy Fratti is on this list and carries quite a few great CD's of
automatic music instruments.  I'm too lazy just now to look for her
catalog; Nancy, do you have any band organ CD's??  ;-)
