Hofbauer 37-key Microband Crank Organ
With "Beach" Wagon, Battery-Powered Blower, CD Display Stand, Storage Drawers and Compartment

This organ is about 10 years old and is in excellent playing condition. The microband (MIDI) system allows the playing of up to 150 melodies, as contained on computer chips. The rechargeable battery system in the organ allows up to 16 hours of continuous playing on one battery charging.

In addition, the organ is securely mounted on a large "beach  wagon" which allows easy travel over the roughest terrain.  If you want to move it over sandy or rocky ground, the large 8" wide tires allows effortless travel.

To the right-front of this organ is a compartment which matches the organ exactly.  By opening the back door to this compartment, a powerful blower, perfect for this organ can be found  with another rechargeable battery.  When fully charged you can have nearly 8 hours of uninterrupted, "NO CRANKING" music.  A small switch located just under the right-top-back side crank handle allows you to return to non-automatic playing anytime the urge for a sore arm "hits you".

This organ works tirelessly, whether on battery-powered blower or from cranking using the handle.  Just a "flip of the switch" changes from one to the other.  "Fool" your friends  by walking away from the organ as it continues to play.

In the top-left-back are two large storage drawers for music cartridges, power cords and small tools, as you wish.

This wonderful instrument from the Hofbauer Company in Germany, produces authenic metal and wooden pipe music by providing the necessary wind pressure to the pipes, just like 100 years ago. The music is not "synthetic"; the computer allows the arrangements to be much more complicated than in the past.

When you tire of the 150 tunes in the instruments, take 3 minutes to quickly install another 150 of your favorites.  You can be the "hit" at the local "Octoberfest" or crank organ or band organ rally.
