Our Street Organ

We are not only interested in clocks, but also 
Automated Musical Instruments.  Ron Schmuck, 
of the Great Canadian Nickelodeon Company was 
recently involved in the creation of our 
"Street Organ". 

The organ is hand turned and uses a traditional four 
pump bellows, the pipe work comprises of Ron’s 
special "SchmuckenFluten" on melody, with violins, 
bourdons and trombones on accompaniment as well 
as Bass. Also glockenspiel on counter melody. 

We are presently working on adding five trumpets to 
the bass. This instrument plays the popular style 
"Wurlitzer 125" Band Organ Music. 

SchumckenFluten is pronounced 
"Schmookenn Flooten" and is a very special pipe 
made up of two bourdones sharing the same back 
but tuned slightly "Celeste" for that very 
"Dutch Sound". Ron’s ancestors made them in 
Soufflenheim, Alsace (now part of France) 150 
years ago.
