Robert Heilbuth - Band Organ Builder
By Christofer Noering

Dear Andrew and Timothy,  thanks for identifying the Robert Heilbuth
tune as "Die Peruanerin"!

The other day, I actually stumbled over another example.  In the Vimeo
at-home video, Mr. Heilbuth plays a charming waltz tune on his Celestina
Organette.  Listening to one of Harold Draper's new restoration
projects on YouTube, I immediately recognized it:

But as your Heilbuth pipe organ has no less than three roll-playing mechanisms, I hope that you have a lot of rolls for the day the pipe organ comes to life again... Apart from that, inspired by the Heilbuth at-home video, I made a humble attempt myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_zAIgHypiU
