Hello MMD,  if it hadn't been obvious that I'm not that up-to-date
with my MMD reading as I should be, then it shall be now.  Here is
in response to something posted on 14 April 2012!

After examination of the videos I have come to the conclusion that
"barrel organ", once again, is _not_ the correct terminology used.
First I pondered if it shouldn't be called a "barrel piano" instead,
but then again, the strikers aren't hitting the "strings" directly.
Therefore I have come to the conclusion that this should be called
a "barrel Vorsetzer" :-) as it strikes the keys of a piano.

Maybe one might consider this nitpicking -- still I thought I should
straighten this out.  :-D
