Arthur Prinsen (Antwerp, Belgium)

A modern hand-cranked organ playing cardboard music books, this delightful instrument was built by Arthur Prinsen, son-in-law of the famed Arthur Bursens of Antwerp, Belgium, a maker of fine-quality dance organs and street organs. Complete with two dozen 32-key music books, it remains in excellent condition.

For many years Arthur Prinsen has been a key figure in the field, first a part of dance hall and other organs when they were still being used publically and, in recent decades, a popular personality in the field of modern-day enthusiasts, working with collectors and museums. 50x50x30 inches.
