This was one of the participating organs. The organ is named "De Brandweer" which translates to "The Fire Brigade". When I was a kid, organs of this type could be regularly seen in the streets of residential areas in Amsterdam and they were always hand powered like the organ in this video and pushed around by three men. Nowadays, possibilities for encountering a street organ are best in shopping areas on a Saturday afternoon. No editing was done, except for adding text at the end. I don't know how to do that without disrupting the music. Thus the image is shaky at certain points and the organ is frequently obscured by passers-by :-) Camera settings: hdv mode with 1080i, shutter 1/500 sec. http://images.vimeo.com/78/44/63/78446346/78446346_200x150.jpg 200 150 1149607
