Memo-2462

Type:

Bach Cart

Title:

Organ Transportation Schubert, Bach, Chopin / Wagner, Beethoven, Haydn

Description:

The Cart used to transport the Václav Hrubeš barrel organ was studio built, but several pieces used to build it were purchased in an antique store. These included the wooden spoked wheels, axles, wooden handle and handle rails. These items were apparently from an antique buggy of some type. The box was made of 3/4", 7 layer birch plywood. It was covered with Walnut veneer to match the instrument and the entire box was trimmed in maple to match the organ's top boards. To finish the vintage look of the cart, the front and back carry oval images of classical composers, some of which are known to have written music for various barrel instruments.

Measures:

* The box was made of 3/4", 7 layer birch plywood.
