Peterson Bottle Organ
By John Norris

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

We are an old established organ and instrument building company
located on Chicago's South Side.  We have just built an organ which
plays beer bottles instead of traditional pipes.  It was commissioned
by Guinness Deutschland for the 2001 Frankfurt Music Messe.  The
organ can be seen and heard on the following website:

There is a fascinating story behind the beer bottle organ stretching
back to 1798.  If you are interested, call me at 708-388-3311;
we are located in Alsip, IL, about 19 miles from downtown Chicago.
The beer bottle organ is up and running and you are more than welcome
to come out and take a look and hear Beer Bottle versions of everything
from Bach to the Beatles!
