Langshaw's Barrel Organ
Two more chamber barrel organs of this type made by John Langshaw have been discovered since Mr. Langshaw's Square Piano went to press; one in Illinois, USA, previously in the collection of Mr. Ralph Heintz, and another in a private collection in the south of England.
Some of the tunes are different - they were clearly made to order.
All three can still be played.
