Nationaal Museum van Speelklok tot Pierement
By Jeffrey Borinsky

Jackie and I were in Amsterdam for the new year.  We also visited the
organ museum at Utrecht, a wonderful collection of almost every kind of
mechanical music, in a lovely old former church.

Our tour guide was very enthusiastic (in both Dutch and English) but
did not have any deep knowledge of the collection.  Her tour was ideal
for the general public and they were even doing some special tours for
children only, adults not allowed!  I wonder if there are longer and/or
more detailed tours available for enthusiasts.

Alas, we did not see any organs playing on the streets.  The biggest
noise was on New Year's Eve when the whole city erupts with fireworks.
