These recordings were made in the old museum! Visitors to the Gaviolizaal will find a warm welcome and a unique collection of organs and accordions. The Gaviolizaal is named after the inventor of the cardboard organ book Anselmo Gavioli.
Street organs are for socialising in particular, the dance organ made its heyday for musical entertainment in dance halls and at fairs, with the large number of pipes, registers and keys such an organ can play symphonies, operas and operettas and also popular dance music. The most spectacular organs in the collection are the two Gaudins and the Mortier historic dance organs from the 1920's, which were used in dance halls, so you can enjoy the magnificent sounds of the Gaudin and the Mortier dance organ's with their beautifully carved facades. Also to be heard is the 'Blue Drum' a "Köningsberg street organ, a Ruth-fairground organ and a small organ de "Onze Kleine".
Accordeon collection ~ The accordion is connected to big names to the Dutch light music soloists such as Johnny Meijer, Harry Magnusson and the trio, The Three Jacksons, all were virtuosos on their instrument's. The Hohner's, Scandalli's and Max-Meinel's give a nice picture of the development of the instrument and the different types. All the instruments are from an extensive private collection.... ©TomGavioli
