An Austrian barrel organ player

A featured image by Chepry on the Polish & English Wiki. Used to illustrate barrel organ, although perhaps it should be at organ grinder too. -- Solipsist 23:48, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Support. I love it. Maybe I'm a little biased because of my Polish background. Still a great photo. Such a dignified organ player. --Fir0002 07:21, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Support. The organ player is worth featuring alone. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 09:26, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Wonderful instrument (Alt-Wiener Werklmann). Excellent attitude shown by the player. --M7it 00:19, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • From author: thank you very much for support! It’s most kind of you. Actually I must put set you right – this barrel organ player isn’t Polish, but Austrian. I had taken this photo in Vienna in 2002. Sincerely yours – Chepry (on English Wiki) or on [1] (Polish).
  • Correction: please be advised that the depicted organ is in fact *not* an austrian instrument and the grinder most likely also not an austrian grinder. Every year there is a so called "organ rally" in Vienna (actually 2 per year now) which is internationally attended. The organ is clearly identifiable to have come from the organ manufacturer http://www.berliner-drehorgel.de/welcome.html Axel Stüber, Berlin, and therefor an original (replica) "Berliner Leierkasten". There are genuine viennese instruments called "Werkl", mainly by Familie Molzer (havn't found any pictures online; have a few in my personal collection but would need to clear copyrights first). Never the less: a good picture!
