Would this gentleman be related to the English Purchase family?

Some of those old show fronts were absolutly unbelievable. Too bad we don't have them today.

Looks like a caliope in the background?

I believe it's a band organ Gary

I took a train about an hour

north of Copenhagen to see the

most incredible band organ

collection in the world

It is maintained privately

and can be visited without

charge only by appointment

The attendant meets you at

the door and locks it behind

you as he proceeds to give

you the most (often too much)

detailed information about

the pieces in the collection

After about a week in Copenhagen

my wife & I went up to Malmo

to visit with Trolle & his

family at their home & WQ of

Circus Brazil Jack
