'De Hagenaar' 90 Key Dutch Carl Frei draaiorgel plays 'Death or Glory'

[5breem]

It's still a fantastic organ. The march is a Carl Frei arrangement, i heard it before on the Cementmolen and the Rosita.

There is the potential, that any given book on "De Hagenaar" was arranged by at least one of its previous owners: Piet Boomsma, Ruinerwold

While not much being said about him in the history of "De Hagenaar", he is a very important previous owner, as he toured with the instrument, appeared on TV several times with it, did all his own maintenance on the instrument and - yes - made various books for the organ, too.

Who arranged this?

@ceredigio I'm afraid I don't know, the book just had the previous (well, several previous) Dutch owners name on it. It's a very well done arrangement and not a tune I've heard before played on a mechanical organ, though very often by silver/brass bands.

@nickn5nl Maybe it was Carl Frei himself!

@ceredigio Yes it is Carl Frei, Mister Boomsma only made copy's from Carl Frei and Piet Maas books. he was not capable of making arrangements of himself.
