@Wurlitzer157 I'm having a great time here in the Netherlands. I got to visit Utreckt as well as see several small private collections. I also had a superior tourguide so I got to see all that I want.

Thanks! Are you having a good time in the Neatherlands.
I hope I can see a collection before I leave!

@Wurlitzer157 Yes, I saw this collection in April of this year. Yes, Ron's organ is very easy to crank, but it still takes practice. The speed will make your arm tired after a while. I cranked a 90 key Carl Frei today that just about killed me. I made it through one book and I really thought I was going to have a heart attack, haha. That was the heaviest organ I that I ever cranked and I won't make that mistake again. It sure was fun though. Hope you are having fun in Chicago!

I am living in Chicago at the moment. when did you see this collection.
I cranked Ron Bopp's Verbeek and it was pretty easy to crank but still takes some skill.

@anglerfly Yes that is me. I really enjoyed playing that organ and wish I could own one that nice some day. It was very easy and smooth to crank. I has only one rank of violin, but it's voiced beautifully. This organ is in the Krughoff collection in Chicago. Many other nice instruments there.
