't Juweeltje - 105t Decap Antwerpen

Of course I couldn't go on holiday in Belgium without looking for a Decap organ in its own territory. Here's what I quickly found, in "Danspaleis 't Juweeltje", Oostendelaan 7, Middelkerke, Belgium. A 105 key Decap Antwerpen dance organ.

It's a 25 minute video, there's more than just that in it.

That's a FAB video!-Thanks-back in July so will try to top your 25 min 41 video record x

I'll be back late July/early August. Hope to catch some of the other Decap organs in the area on video as well then ;)

Both families are still alive and kicking, the one in the Essenstraat is Decap Antwerp

Took a while, but I managed to uncover that this organ was actually built in 2003, specifically for its current location.

Two branches of the Decap business do indeed still exist; both Decap Antwerpen and Decap Herentals are still very much open for business.

Does DeCapp still exist?

Are they still in Essen Street?

Nice long video and the best use I can think of for a couple of Hammonds! :-)

Good question, and one to which I do not know the answer. I would expect it to be 20 years old at the most though.
