A recording of 27 (?) tracks of the "Amaryllis" Mortier dance organ
can be obtained from the music house museum, in Acme, MI.  I believe
you can order from their web site, http://www.musichouse.org/

This is the second largest surviving Mortier dance organ.  It was
completely and authentically restored by the experts at MHM.  It is
quite a sight to see play live (I myself have seen it play seven or
eight times), but the CD is nothing short of amazing.

Musically,

Zach Goldstein
