Last week Mr. Vader of Kolhorn in Holland managed to fulfill a
long-cherished wish: the purchase of a Ruth style 38 fairground organ.

This great instrument, built in 1908, was new to Mr. Kling, and played
for decades in Sweden, in the ownership of Mr. Ericssen of Stockholm.
About 10 years ago the organ was sold to Mr. Romy Maier in Switzerland,
who proudly presented it at the Waldkirch festivals of 1993 and 1996.
The instrument was recently serviced by Mr. Stefan Fleck of Waldkirch.

We expect that the "Swedish Ruth", as we like to call this magnificent
instrument, will be present on the main events in the Netherlands
during the coming years.
