Visit to Utrecht Museum
By Max Huff

Mike,  The train to Utrecht (from the Amsterdam Central Station) runs
every 30 minutes or so and takes about 30 minutes.  The museum is three
blocks from the train station.  I considered my trip there in June to
be our high point of the entire trip to Europe, including several other
musical museums -- no comparison!  They have museum quality instruments
and they are _all_ in tune!

As their name implies, they are a museum, not an "exhibit".  However,
_all_ instruments are played all day.  Don't miss it!  I dragged three
other people there with me and they too said it was the best part of
the trip -- and they had never seen nor heard a street or fairground
organ before!  The 101-key Mortier, alone, is worth the trip.
