Organ-Building Book "Kistdraaiorgel" in English
By Norman Narmore

Hello group.  I was very excited to read in 050731 MMDigest ["Building
a New Band Organ"] that there is now an English translation of the
excellent book, "Kistdraaiorgel - bouwbeschrijving", by Professor Johan
de Vries.  This is an wonderful book on building a small 32- or 36-note
Dutch street organ.

I have posted a request for pricing and payment information to
<info.huismuziek.nl> several times this month but have yet to receive
a reply from them.  I have nearly worn out my Dutch language copy of
the book and I am eager to purchase the English version.

If you recently purchased the book from "Huismuziek", or know of another
way to purchase the book, I would love to hear about it.  It did just
occur to me to also email a message to Professor de Vries so maybe
something will come of that.

Best regards,
Norman Narmore
Atlanta, Georgia

 [ The new English version is entitled "Small Barrel Organ - Building
 [ Instructions".  The bulk of the translation was by Henk DeGraauw of
 [ Canada, an experienced organ-builder himself.  He has some copies
