I think the value of instruments such as these - which enable us to hear music exactly as Mozart and Haydn would have heard it - is underestimated!

@PSearPianist Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven all composed for the musical organ clock, it was in some ways a 'recording' but not quite as we know it. Such antique creations are dismissed too lightly by many, probably because they have never heard one working properly as here.
