If you have a hand-turned organ to sell, you can advertise it on this page Free of charge.

Because of the expense and inconvenience of shipping organs overseas, advertisers should state which country they come from, and whether they are prepared to ship instruments to other countries, or whether they expect the buyer to collect, or arrange his own shipping, etc.  This will save a lot of needless correspondence.
