Rutgers University Folk Festival April 25th 2009

The Violanta at Rutgers University 35th Anniversary Folk festival.
New Brunswick,NJ
The Violanta Street Organ, hosted by Johanna Van Der Heyden, was originally constructed by the Limonaire Brothers in Paris, France. This organ dates back to before World War II when it was deconstructed and hidden in pieces from the Nazis and then reconstructed afterward in Holland. This intricate mechanical organ was originally designed to play in a carousel, but was converted to a street organ. The interior and inner workings of the organ are visible. The Organ uses program books inserted into a player that directs special pipes to play at a specific time. These special pipes are constructed to assemble the sounds of flutes, drums, violins and even cymbals!
