I recently visited Amsterdam and the Netherlands and wanted to report
several sites of interest.  The museum in Utrecht was wonderful: just
full of incredible instruments in excellent condition.  Everything
from musical snuff boxes to the largest dance organs and everything in
between, all in beautiful playing condition.  Our guide was excellent
and the staff delightful; a _must_ for anyone traveling to the area.

In Amsterdam I visited a shop that contained a stock worthy of a museum
itself.  Van Dreven Toebosch, Antiquarian, Fred Vab Dreven, owner, at
Niewe Spiegelstraat, 33-35, phone 020-6252732.  Fantastic array of
music boxes large to small and a very friendly place to visit.  I am
happy to report that I will soon be the owner of a Steinway OR Duo-Art,
