Arthur Bursens was a Belgian organ manufacturer, starting production in

This year MechaMusica celebrates this centennial with an exhibition

Sorghvliet, Hoboken, Belgium.  More about the event is at:

MechaMusica is also holding an international organ festival, "Bursens
Conjures Music From Wood," on October 9th in the center of Hoboken.  It
will start with the unveiling of a memorial plate at Arthur Bursens'
home and workplace.  More at http://www.mechamusica.be/?q=en/node/125 

Members of MechaMusica will receive a numbered reprint of a 1925
Bursens catalogue.
