FS: "Tingle-Tangle" Barrel Instrument by Schollaert
By Patrick Jaques

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

Hello,  I live in Barcelona (Spain) and I have a old Belgian organ
called popularly a Tingle-Tangle.  There is a small label on it:

  Schollaert Gent

To let it play, you have to wind up a spring, and after putting in
a 10 cents coin, it plays about ten songs from a big wooden barrel.
The front of this oak instrument (2.30 m high, or 90.5 inches) is
decorated with engraved mirrors and a very nice small statue.
If somebody is interested in this instrument please let me know.
Photos are available by email.

Kind regards
Pat Jaques, Barcelona
