Wonderful works of art! Viewers should definitely watch/listen to the video to get the full flavor of the experience.
And it's nice to know that street organs are still being produced today.
When we were in the Netherlands two summers ago, we stayed in Delft and rented a place for three weeks. Each market day (Monday and Thursday) the organ man came. Those are just gorgeous and while the music might get a little much when the gentleman parks just under your window, they were still delightful. You can hear his little song: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wishiwerebaking/42331404431/in/album-72157696572447284/
