The electro-mechanical movement is contained within the domed box underneath "Hans". The organ has an identifying mark Gebr. Wendel, Rudesheim. More than likely this was the creator of the organ and gentleman, if not the whole piece. Overall in working order and standing at approximately 6' tall! Includes key.
