It was pneumatically restored in 2012.

This classic roll operated Arburo dance organ was made by Arthur Bursens circa 1950. The Bursens firm, founded by Arthur’s father Joseph, was an important organ manufacturer, located in Antwerp, Belgium. The company made approximately 1000 organs under the model names Ideal, Bursens, and Arburo. Most were book operated with about 300 models being “keyless”, operated by a special 88 hole paper roll such as this model.
