If so you may be interested in this Heritage Open Days event in Chesham, Bucks on Sunday 11th September:

https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/visiting/event/kevin-meayers-organ-builder

at a business that "primarily specialises in the maintenance, conservation, restoration and building of fairground organs and mechanical musical instruments."

I hope this is of interest to some of you.
