Aeolian Player Pipe Organ in Italy
By Michael Roseboom

The following is a link to a YouTube video I came across that is
of an Aeolian player organ located somewhere in Italy:

Does anyone know the exact location of this instrument, its opus
number, and where it was used originally?

Thanks, all.

 [ "A typical day at the House of Giacobazzi!
 [ "While Alexander is working on a windchest, the Aeolian [console]
 [ is playing the Tamburini organ for us :-)  The Tannhauser overture,
 [ played by Alfred Hertz for the Aeolian company, is reproduced with
 [ a roll dating back to the era of the 1914 organ.  The console is
 [ temporarily connected to a Tamburini organ of 1954 because the
 [ Aeolian wind chests are being restored.  In the video are panoramic
 [ shots in the workshop while Alexander works on the construction
 [ of a windchest."
