Built in the Black Forest in the late 19th century, originally as a barrel organ, this antique fairground organ has the genuine German sound. With marches, waltzes and old time potpourris, its large range of music is a typical repertoire of yesteryear. Both metal and wooden trumpets as well as a stringent mixture and trombone pipes give this little organ a big sound.
