FS: 52-Key Gasparini Organ "Gypsy Queen"
By Tony Marsico

For sale: 52-key Gasparini organ.  It originally spent most of its
life in Paul Eakins' Gay 90s Village in Sikeston, Missouri.  It has
four bell ringers and a director, as you can see.  It has not been
offered for sale for over 30 years.

"Gypsy Queen", made in the 1800s; this delightful Gasparini organ has
five fascinating figures that are striking examples of wood carving
styles of a bygone era.  At one time this organ played by a 61-key
pinned cylinder, later converted to 52-key book music.  It has both
wood and metal pipes.

This would be a prize for any collection.  The 52-key Gasparini organ
is 9' high, 8' 3-1/2" wide, and 4' deep with key frame.  It has lots
of music: 45 books.

Price $35,000.  If interested you can contact Bill Endlein where the
organ is stored at <wendlein@peganet.com> or 268-270 Professional Pl
N. Ft Myers FL 33903
