FS: 84-key Mortier (mailed announcement)
By Robbie Rhodes
Philippe Rouille in Paris has mailed advertisements to prospective buyers announcing the auction sale next week of an 84-key Mortier Dance Organ. The auction will be held 12 April 1996, in Chambery, in the French Alps. He says that several people have already expressed interest, even though the instrument needs a "serious restoration". They estimate it will sell for $60000 to $80000 USD.
Serious bidders might telephone Philippe in Paris for more details. He requests that email not be sent to him regarding this auction, because his Internet e-mail service provider is a non-profit organization which does not permit commercial activities.
Philippe's address is given in the GSM membership list, Summer 1995, as:
Rouille, Philippe
11, Rue du Bouloi
F-75001 Paris
