Lundholm Mechanical Organ Plays 40-cm Disk
By Stefan Knief, forwarded

Hello,  I received the following message about a Lundholm Mechanical
Organ.  Do any of the Digest members have experience or knowledge of
this type instrument?

Thanks,

Hi there.  My name is Stefan Knief.  I live in Sweden and I am hoping
for your help.

The situation is that my father has bought an mechanical organ, but
it's not like the type I can find info about on the 'net (the type with
paper rolls).  Instead of the paper roll, it has a disk about 40 cm in
diameter with holes in it and it's made of thin metal.

To play you have to pump like a normal organ and turn the handle
around.  The name of the thing is "Lundholm".   It was made in Sweden
in 1905.  It came with five disks, [each] which contains one separate
melody.  Have any clue?

Take care,
Stefan Knief
