Louis Hooghuys 83-Key Dance Hall Organ No. 640
By Bjorn Isebaert

Hi there,  My friend Marc Hooghuys asked me to put this question
in the MMD:

Does anyone know where the Hooghuys dance organ with serial no. 640
is now?  This 83-key instrument was bought by Mr. Barlow from Albert
Becquart, and after a time it could be seen in Turner's Musical
Merry-Go-Round in the UK, who sold it to Retonio at Degersheim,
Switzerland.

The owner of Retonio's Gallery sent us a catalogue picture in circa
1995, but rumors say that the complete collection has been sold.
Does anyone know something more about it?

Thanks to all!
