This link takes you to the current rally schedule. Caution: Music starts to play immediately when you go to this page.
The members of COAA are devoted to enjoying, preserving, and sharing knowledge of all outdoor mechanical musical instruments. They sponsor four or five large organ “rallies” each year. These rallies showcase 20 to 40 or more instruments of all sizes and types. The events are free and open to the public.

Musical Box Society International
The members of this organization collect, restore, and share knowlege of all mechanical musical items and instruments, from small (such as a musical watch) to very large (such as a Dutch Street Organ). There are links to people who do repairs under "More" and then "MBSILinks".

At another page on this site http://mbsi.org/photo-gallery/ you can see many different kinds of mechanical musical instruments. Some photos have sound files.

This is the website for the German organ maker who made Terry's street organs. The site is in German, but if you click on the tiny British (the one in the middle) flag on the left, you will get the English version. Note that although they use the term "barrel organs", these organs do not have the pinned barrels that we in the U.S. associate with that term. They all play with punched paper rolls.

The Place de la Musique contains the largest collection of restored automatic musical instruments in the world. The collection was created by Jasper and Marian Sanfilippo near Chicago, Illinois. A foundation has been created to preserve the collection and this is their website. There is an excellent video from WTTW-TV Chicago Tonight on the home page.

Terry has been made into a puzzle! A photograph of Terry taken at the 2005 Washington National Cathedral Flower Mart has been made into a challenging visual puzzle. Have fun, but be aware that this site may have a flashing ad and several "pop-under" ads.

Jäger and Brommer
This company is a major organ maker in Waldkirch, Germany. Their site is in German, but if you click on the British flag on the left, you will get the English version. Their organs sound different from Raffin organs as would be expected. Note that they have translated the German word for small street organs, "Drehorgeln", as "barrel organ" in English. However, these organs do not have the pinned barrels that we associate with that term. They operate with punched paper rolls just as Terry's street organ does.

Waldkirch, Germany is the site of a well known street organ festival every three years. The most recent one was June 23 - 25, 2017. This site is in German.
