Dutch Festival at Tesselars Tulip farm Melbourne

See Antique Festival Organ playing at Tulip Festival Silvan Movie with sound from my great Pansonic Lumix FZ 20 digital camera. HERE

This was an amazing musical instrument where drums and organ and other sounds were made by automatons or clockwork. The tunes were popular European ones from about the early 1900s I think? I stand to be corrected there... here
