In principle orchestrions are more or less pipe organs. Those in the 18th century were individual items as well as the Kaufmann-Orchestrion. But the big mass of orchestrions from the 1850 on, developed from the flute-clock, were all pipe organs with additional mechanisms. Gerhard51 19:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
