Why have they put that horrible screen over the pipes in the centre?, i have seen and heard this organ on the streets in Gouda and it's not that loud!, ruins the appearance of the organ!
It’s just cardboard to protect the pipes from getting out of tune from the hot sun. Originally the organ had swell shutters. For what I understand, Adrie is making a new construction to bring the shutters back. And yes, times are changed and people experience streetorgans these days as too loud.
