Hello there,  I just wanted to second the notion, that it is, to say
the least, "odd" to have a German name for a Dutch street organ.

By coincidence I wanted to mention "'t eenhorn", which is Dutch for
"little unicorn".  (Shouldn't that be "uni-horn"?)

 [ The English and French word for the Greek monoceros is a shortening
 [ of Latin "unicornis", literally, one horn.  (We don't know what
 [ sound the horn produced...  ;-)  -- Robbie

In the same way it is with Dutch street organs, the organ named
"'t eenhorn" also got renamed.  Since while it used to play in Harlem,
Netherlands, as "'t eenhorn", as soon as it switched hands and moved to
Leeuwarden, Netherlands, it got renamed into "'t Leeuwtje" ("the little
lion").

When my parents bought this instrument we decided not to rename it,
so it still carries the name "'t leeuwtje", while the front-decoration
still resembles two silver horns, one on each side.

As already mentioned in earlier postings about "MEMUSI", this
instrument also is cranked manually by hand at the big flywheel.
