Decap Robot Bands
By Rosanna Harris

I would like to thank all who responded to my recent post about the
whereabouts and number of Decap Robot Bands.  Although the four that
I noted in the original posting are definitely instruments built by
Gebr. Decap Antwerp, there are others that have been built either by
the owner (case in point: Norman Kendall) or by another builder of
organs.

In the responses, I have learned that there was another in Switzerland
in the Kessler collection.  There were actually three Gebr. Decap Robot
Bands in the U.K.  Two have been documented and those are known to be
in two separate collections.  The third was lost to a fire.

The entire summary of these organs will be in the next issue of
"Carousel & Automatic Music News."  Again, many thanks to Robbie and
Jody for posting my request for information and thanks to all who came
forward with valuable clues and information.

Best regards,
Rosanna Harris - Editor, Carousel & Automatic Music News
