Hello !
I am Gerard Potier and I live in Tours, country of the famous
"Chateaux de la Loire". I am a story-teller and member of the
A.A.I.M.M. l'm fellow of mechanical music and often use the Le Ludion
Website to read the MMD forum.

Last Sunday, I attended the MIMM annual General Assembly and, during the
afternoon shows, I have had pleasure in presenting my new organ,
Piccolo, from Le Ludion, a busker one, paper roll operated, playing 27
notes. I was proud of showing this inlaid hand-crafted instrument and
shared the enjoyment of this novelty with other attenders.
These show took place at the exhibition "Musiciens des Rues de Paris"
so I had the feeling of a fine revival moment.

Regards.
Gerard Potier
