A new book by Dr. H. Juettemann will come out, ready for the
Waldkirch Organ Festival in June 2005, called "Waldkirch Barrel
Organs with Automata" with about 100 pages and pictures of the
rare Bruder organs with figures.
Mr. Heinz Jaeger is co-author and he writes a special article about
the restoration of the famous Bruder organ from 1855 (in 2005 is its
150th birthday) with Napoleon in the coffin. (In Germany we call it
the "Sarg-Orgel!")
There will be a special presentation of the new Juettemann book
in cooperation with the Waldkircher Orgelstiftung (Waldkirch Organ
Foundation) and "Edition Waldkircher Verlag" of Verlag Ernst Kaufmann
-- plus a special demonstration of the restored "Sarg-Orgel" by Jaeger
& Brommer, Waldkirch -- at the next Waldkircher Orgelfest, June 17th
to 19th, 2005.
Please come all.
