I wonder if the article on Gustav Bruder that was written by the
late Paul Fleck from Waldkirch has ever been translated and published
anywhere else. It was published in the German mechanical music
magazine in 1980 and runs to 10 sides and includes some really
interesting archive material.
I have many music books arranged by him for my Model 77 Wilhelm Bruder
organ and they are all excellent, from classical to marches, polkas to
express galops, like in "D-Zug". A very talented man, as without the
music arranger no mechanical instrument can show its true colour.
