..Where

imaginative ideas

become a reality

.. like this expertly-crafted

replica of an old-time

Hurdy-Gurdy with Cart

Over 50 years ago, Vincente Llinares

of Barcelona, Spain, began making

Hurdy-Gurdys and pianos. Before long,

his craftsmanship became famous and

his instruments were heard every–

where. It's even likely that many of the

famous organ grinders of Old New

York used Vincente's creations.

A lot of things have happened in

50

years.

If

anything, the Hurdy-Gurdys

made by Vincente Llinares' firm are

better now than they ever were. Cer–

t ainly this model's brilliant, clear

sound will kindle a nostalgic sensation

in your home when you crank out

"Sidewalks of New York."

Actually a Hurdy-Gurdy is a port·

· able barrel organ, and its inner work–

ings are similar to those of a piano.

But instead of a keyboard, the Hurdy–

Gurdy plays by turning a crank.

The mechanism is housed in a solid

wood case which is mounted on a

colorful pushcart and held secure by

2 leather straps. Both the organ and

its cart are carefully hand finished and

decorated until they fairly gleam.

Organ plays 6 tunes, chosen by turn–

ing a small selector knob: "Sidewalks

of New York", "My Blue Heaven",

"Arrivederci Roma", "La Cumpasita",

"Lara's Theme" (from

"Dr.

Zhivago")

and "Strangers in the Night".

The organ measures 23%x23%x

17~-in.

high while the rubber-tired

2-

wheel cart is 503Ax20Ysxl01,4-in. high.
