Street Organs and Draaiorgels
By Robbie Rhodes

Jan, can you tell us more about the differences between the English Fairground Organ, the Draaiorgel of Holland, the Drehorgel of Germany, and the Military Band Organ such as Wurlitzer sold in America?

What is the draaiorgel tradition of the Netherlands? How does this tradition relate to the organbuilders of Belgium and the Black Forest of Germany? (I am thinking especially about the master, Carl Frei. :-)

Best regards,
Robbie Rhodes
