FS: Bruder and Frati Organs
By Philip Jamison

Anyone interested in a nicely-restored fairground organ?  Two remain
from Mike Kitner's collection:

1.  A lovely 80-keyless, book-operated Wilhelm Bruder organ with
classic facade.  This one really blasts out a tune.  A big organ, but
only about 8 feet tall, so it'll fit most rooms and trailers.

2.  A Frati barrel organ converted to roll operation.  Mike often
brought this to organ rallies.  It has a great European sound and a
large selection of music.  If I recall correctly, it has it's original
flageolets made from bamboo.

Both these organs are beautifully restored and ready to display.
Serious offers considered.  Contact Durward Center at
