FS: 51-key Van Eijk Dutch Street Organ
By Philip Jamison

I thought I would post my Jan Van Eijk organ on the MMD before
advertising elsewhere.  This is a lovely-sounding 51-key organ built
for me by Jan about 20 years ago.  It has 5 moving, carved figures
with the distinctive Dutch "pierement" bourdon-celeste/violin melody.
The facade was painted in the old Dutch Master style.

Includes a large quantity of book music; perhaps 100 tunes.  Plays
nicely off variable-speed dc motor.  Could also be hand-turned if
you have the endurance.  Asking $32,000.  Located near Philadelphia.

Jan Van Eijk passed away several years ago, but his sons continue the
family business and offer almost 3,000 books for this organ!  See

Here is a link to a video I just made of the Van Eijk street organ:
