Page 64 - Jerry Doring Collection

Reymond Duwyn was an employee of the famous Th. Mortier factory, who built the
most famous dance organs and café orchestrions in Antwerp, Belgium. He left the compa-
ny and started his own business in Wilrijk, Belgium. In comparison with Mortier, Bursens or
Decap his output was very small and mostly limited to clients in the region. The organs had
a particularly sweet and mellow “warm” type of sound and due to the limited numbers pro-
duced a very high-quality finish to the pipework.
We do not know, how the organ made its way to America, but unfortunately the orig-
inal front got lost in transit. Jerry bought it many years ago from the Dutch Village in Win-
chester, CA and ordered from the Dreamfactory in Switzerland one of the 3 baby Taj Mahal
reproduction front, originally designed by Th. Mortier in the mid-20th. Made of grinded mar-
ble this Duwyn/Mortier Café Orchestrion will be one of the nicest instrument in the world.
A combination of beauty and musical ingenuity. The restoration has been commissioned by
the Doring family to NBC (Netherland Bookorgan Company) in Tilburg, Holland and will be
finished in due time for the new owner. It will be MIDI controlled and play unlimited melo-
dies chosen on a computer touch screen. Truly on of the highlights of the collection.
