Bursens Dance Organ in Northern California
By Geoff Hansen

I just acquired some of the collection from the Pizza Joynt of Hayward,
California.  The place had a fire in 2003 and things have been stored
ever since.  I got the Joynt's Bursens dance organ and the Wurlitzer
3-manual organ console.  Both suffered smoke and soot damage but the
Bursens came through in much better shape.

Does anyone know where the Pizza Joynt Bursens dance organ came from?
Carsten Henningsen, the Joynt owner, got it about 1980.  It appears to
have been made circa 1928, and has a triangle along with wood block and
drums.  I would appreciate any info anyone out there can give.
