Greetings!  The latest information about Robert Heilbuth's
automatic organs.  Robert Heilbuth (1912-2002) lived in San Francisco,
California, USA.  He was a piano tuner by profession and instrument
builder and automatic instrument composer and arranger in his spare
time.  His work was discussed here in past years.

The band organ is still in the house that was Robert's, where it is
kept playing.  The larger organ, a 23-rank two-manual & pedal organ
with mixed actions and three(!) player mechanisms, was bequeathed
to Yours Truly in 2003.  I have the organ in storage in Southern
California, though I plan to move it next month, hoping finally to
fit it into my home here in Michigan ... or somewhere, somehow!

I'll continue to keep the list informed as to this organ's status.
In the meantime, you can read my brief technical description on the
Organ Historical Society Database web site:
