Bjorn (an Isbjorn, perhaps, from Scandinavia?),  the Carousel Becquart
organ is the same one a recording of which Marc Elbasani was asking for a
couple of Digests back.  You seem to know about that organ.  Could you
tell everything you know about it, either to the list or to me?  I am
interested in the organ, its past and present locations, recordings made
of it, and also Schollaert, who was mentioned on the jacket of the one
recording I have as arranger of the music.

The jacket was a little hokey (as many band organ jackets are) and I
had the impression that the illustration of the organ on that jacket
was more fantasy than fact, resembling an orchestrion more than a band
organ, but one that would never be operable if the drawing of it re-
flected its actual design.  Why do design artists feel it's okay to lie
to the public so pointlessly?
