Muzzio Organ Works of New York City
By Mike Roseboom

On page 906 of Bowers' "Encyclopedia" is a brief description of the
Muzzio Organ Works of New York City. It states that Muzzio was both
a manufacturer and importer of barrel operated street organs and
fairground organs. Muzzio specifically imported Frati street organs
and Gavioli organs. The firm made cylinder organs that sometimes
had a Frati chassis.
Am I correct in assuming that instruments that were actually made in
the Muzzio factory were of the band/fairground organ type? Are there
any surviving examples of Muzzio instruments around today? Muzzio is
not often heard of, so I was curious.
