This CD sounds great! I just ordered one. That house is stunning.

I have been in contact with the seller and deciphered what he is selling. Seems that someone mounted a D Standard mech into some sort of a cabinet and connected the reproducer to a red morning glory horn bell with rubber hose and plumbing. The mech works and there are C & H reproducers and a recorder to boot. He wants $200 with or without the cabinet. I can't use it myself, but thought I'd pass it on.
