Philipps Paganini Orchestrion at Utrecht Museum
By Niels Berkers

Hi all,  The grand Philipps Paganini orchestrion of the Dutch museum
'Van Speelklok tot Pierement' has recently been restored.  The first
video of the instrument is now on YouTube (not recorded by me):

Please do note it doesn't sound as subtle as it should, as much of
the expression functions are lacking because the front cover had been
taken off.

I made several recordings myself, too, which I'll soon put onto the
Tube also.  Just search for Philipps Paganini and you'll find them when
they're there.  Enjoy!

Regards from the Netherlands,
Niels Berkers
