Crank-organ for Waldkirch
By Robbie Rhodes
I sent a note to Wolfgang Brommer suggesting that his customer in Waldkirch might arrange a trade with Giovanni Zanin for the Wilhelm Bruder organ in Codoipo, Italy. Wolfgang replied:

What Bruder and Ruth hurdy-gurdys are here in the States? Perhaps an owner would like to trade for a different instrument from Europe.
About the music -- David Wasson and I have been arranging for big organs (75-key to 125-key); now I plan to try the 20-key format. What a change !
