Barrel Organ by Cles Anciaume
By Bjorn Isebaert

Dear MMD'ers,  While searching for more information in some Hooghuys
documents about the history of the Dutch fairground family "Vincken"
and their Hooghuys organ, I found two invoices for a Gerard Vincken
for modifying a 109-key barrel organ built by the firm of Anciaume.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any information about this
firm.  Perhaps some readers of the MMD know more about it ?

Many thanks in advance !
