Pronunciation of 'Draaiorgel'
By Babs Cannon

Thanks to Nancy and Jan for the info on Dutch Street Organs.  Question:
what is the correct way to pronounce, "draaiorgel, and its exact meaning?

The reason for the stupid question is, I've heard it pronounced three
different ways, by Americans, so I was wondering which is correct, if
any.

 [ Hans van Oost, can you tell us the official definition, as
 [ proclaimed by the government of the Netherlands?  (Yes, indeed,
 [ Babs, the draaiorgel/pierement is a national heritage!  :)
