SignedLaser etched on oak crossbar: Orgelkids by J. F. NORDLIE COMPANY / IV / 2023 #23023-3 Sioux Falls, SDDescriptionThe Orgel-Kids organ is a small positive organ designed to be used to educate children about pipe organs. Its components are stored in a crate that then forms the base of instrument, with the parts to be assembled by children with the guidance of the instructor. This example was made new for the National Music Museum by J. F. Nordlie Company of Sioux Falls, who created a small run of the organs at the same time. It is used in educational programming at the museum and can be transported to other sites as well.
