|
|
For those of you who like browsing and seeing what other people in other countries make and play in the streets. Log on to www.musicmeccanica.it and you have to click on to the main picture to bring up a menu. Go to the bottom of this page to the words "amici de strada". Click on this and another list comes up of various street organ gatherings . Photos are of, for instance, Oingt 2005 and St.Jean En Royan 2005. There are some very interesting examples of pipework on these street organs. I did see on one of the sites pictures of an organ where the air supply was operated by a treadle. Looked like an old singer sewing machine treadle.
regards, Bob West |
