[Montyleeny14]

The slavonic dance is not traditional - this piece is by Dvorak. :)

@snakepiano3 The organ is from original build by the firm Ruth and son (Waldkirch Germany). The company Ruth went bankruptcy , and sold all the organ (those were in stock) to the firm Voigt in Frankfurt am main (Germany). The company voigt build the organ complete and sold it to a fairground company in Austria. A few owners later, bought a dutch showmen the organ, and it's still in the Netherlands. At the moment is the dutch showman @oliebol100 (H. Riddering) the owner of this beautifull organ.

What Slavonic Dance is it?

[tregnier279]

I do not know.

The game and the original record states only "Slavonic Dance," and I haven't really looked into the 'true' title.

If someone finds the true title of this "Slavonic Dance", I'd be very grateful. I've checked with the current owner of the organ (in the Netherlands) but he doesn't know it either.

[tregnier279]

You have access (or have had access) to the owner of the organ, and, presumably, the organ itself?

Is the organ still exhibited or shown or what have you anywhere?

If so, would it be possible to get footage of the organ in it's current condition?

[bietebouwer]

I saw the organ twice in the Netherlands, three years ago (at Arnhem and Ulvenhout), but as I don't have a videocamera, I don't have any footage of it, alas ... It was in good playing condiiton, though.

At the very least, I can tell you that it isn't any of Anton Dvorak's Slavonic Dances. Unfortunately, that is the limit of my knowledge.
