Limonaire "Jazzbandophone" Organ
By Pierre Louis Freydiere

In 2010.12.23.02 MMDigest Mike Roseboom was looking for information
on the Limonaire Jazzbandophone:

> I was wondering if any others still survive and whether or not any
> of them are on any recordings.  Do they resemble dance organs more
> closely than fair organs?

In France remain, made by Limonaire Frères, approximately

4 jazzband, 45-key, including 1 at the Musée des Gets
6 jazzband, 50-key, including 1 at the Musée des Gets
1 jazzband, 52-key, 52 keys tradi adapted jazzband
1 jazzband, 80-key, at the Musée des Gets (single copy)
3 jazzband, 84-key, including 1 at the Musée des Gets

There are articles on these organs in the French mechanical music
review, Musiques Mécaniques Vivantes.
