Storlein Swedish Mystery Organ
By Philip Jamison

I am trying to identify a 22-key, 19th century portable barrel organ.
It is unmarked save for a wax seal on a really big bass pipe.  This
pipe is much larger than all the others and fills the top of the organ!

The wax seal is partially obscured but says "Storlein", which leads
me to the town of that name in Sweden.  It also says "TUL**AMMARE*I"
(* = missing letters).

It's an interesting organ in that the case is painted rather than
veneered.  It has 3 ranks of wood flue pipes, some very small in scale.
