G. Perlee: street organs in a workshop

The G. Perlee Draaiorgelmuseum in Amsterdam is described as a combination of museum and organ workshop. Guided tours are mentioned only by appointment; there is no confirmed schedule for independent visits.

Plan your visit ↗

The technology behind the music

Repairs and the making of book music (orgelboeken) are among the activities described. Ask what explanation is possible during your appointment and which parts of an organ will be shown.

The outside too

Painting and decoration are another side of the work. Look at how the front and the technical parts together form an instrument, without focusing on the decoration alone.

Visiting a business

The workshop is a working environment. The availability of a guide and of visible work may change, so an appointment should set out specifically what can be visited at that time.

Before you go

Confirm directly that a guided tour is possible and ask about current access. Old collection lists do not guarantee that every organ mentioned is still here.
