Barrel Organ by K. Giehs Sohn, Altkirch, Alsace
By Francoise Dussour

Who can help me ?  I have seen a barrel street-organ,
made between 1870 an 1914, by

  Karl GIEHS Sohn - Orgelbauer
  ALTKIRCH  Obere Elsass ( Haute Alsace - Upper Alsace)

On another paper was a picture with a fair-organ.  He writes:

  Organs and Piano-Orchestrions maker for Merry-go-rounds,
  Cinemas, Restaurants and Dance-halls.  He can restore Organs,
  Orchestrions and Harmoniums.

Best regards from Mirecourt and best wishes for the year 2001
and the new millenary!

 [ I believe Altkirch lies 20 km south of Mulhouse, not very far
