Barrel-Operated 20-key Reed Organ
By Wolfgang Brommer

The picture I send with this email is of a small 20-note reed-barrel-
organ.  We don't know anything about this instrument.

Perhaps someone out of the MMD-group can help us to get some detailed
information: how old, who built it, where are other instruments.  It
would be great if you can help us with this.

Yours

 [ The photo shows a nicely-made little organ in a case which resembles
 [ a table-top disc music box.  I looks like it plays four or five
 [ tunes.  What is the diameter of the cylinder, Wolfgang, and what
 [ is the distance between the keys?  The picture is at
