This giant dance organ was built in Antwerp, Belgium in 1936 by the Mortier company. Because of its distinctive facade it became known as "De Torenmortier". Throughout its life it has toured the fairgrounds in Belgium and the south of the Netherlands, even spending some time in a theme park in Slagharen. It is now the last of its kind to remain in active service. Despite being built almost 90 years ago it is still so musically versatile that it can play virtually any piece of music, as demonstrated here.
