Concert Night
On Friday 3 April, everyone is warmly invited to the concert evening organised by the 'Kring van Draaiorgelvrienden'. The orchestrions and street, fairground and dance organs from our collection will be performing their finest repertoire!
Programme & admission prices
A special feature of this edition is that visitors will have the chance to hear a piece from the collection that has not been played for several years: the Jan van Dinteren-Bruder organ. All organ and music enthusiasts are warmly welcome in the museum café from 17:00. The programme starts at 19:00.
Members of the Kring van Draaiorgelvrienden and MechaMusica have free admission and may bring a guest. Friends of Museum Speelklok may also enter free of charge. For other visitors, the museum’s standard admission prices apply.
About the Jan van Dinteren-Bruder
The Gebrüder Bruder company built this example of their Model 107 around 1920 in their workshop in Waldkirch (Black Forest, Germany). The organ plays on a 52-note Tonstufen keyboard – where the holes in the organ pipes are activated not by keys, but by air pressure. As the organ was built as a fairground organ, it played in a merry-go-round and a swing ride during its ‘working life’ – until fairground organ enthusiast Jan van Dinteren purchased it in 1961. In 1987, he donated it to Museum Speelklok.
