Where Mu Their M and Importation and the Peo ple Who Buy Some Account of amufictur New York I'here has been a at “boom the hand-organ business in this city within the last six and how ever the public may foel about it, the few dealers in that instrumen of bad repute are rubbing their hands with satisfaction, much as the coal dealers said to do on a very frosty morn There is no other city in Amer- in months; ing 3 ica where hand organs can be hought, and the state of the busin in Now York s, therefore, the state of the business in the whole country. But because there is unusual activity just now it is not to be supposed that im mense factories are turning out in struments by the hundred and ship ping them all over the United States like our piano-makers, That would be a very great mistake. The fact is, facilities for making hand-organs in Ameriea are so exceedingly limited that an order for 20 instruments, all to be finished within three months, would astonish the manufacturers. For neatly a score ot years the num ber of organs of the barrel type made in New York averaged from 75 to 100 a year, but last year, owing to the in erease in the business, more than 150 wore made. Most residents of Now York have noticed At inerease in the number of organ-grinders within the last fow months. In the busy avenues hardly a corner but has its And organ-grinder on pleasant days. the grinders’ penny boxes ave al pretty well supplied with small coins, though they are ton smart to leave very much money Jying in the box, where the public can see it To learn something about the ins and outs of this mys terious business, a Times reporter called a short time ago at a hand or. gan factory, and in o very unmusical and dusty atmosphere had a conversa tion with one of its managers. The factory, which until within a short time was the only one in America, is in the lower part of the city; and it might easily be passed a hundrod times without its modest signeattracting any attention. Tvis up several thghts of stairs, and when reached it is not im posing. One large room, without too many windows, comprises the whole of it; and there are not enough work- men inthe place to lift ono of the larger sizes of stationary organs, such as have come into use in larger beer saloous. But the men were all bus; when the reporter ealled,and the man- several times interrupted by customers in the course of a brief con- versation. The customers, though, not of the most profitable kind. nearly all had organs undergo- Yepairs or changing their tunes. ‘T have no objection to telling you anything you want to know about the business,” said the manager, ‘‘for, though people generally know little abouc it, it is only because they do not take the trouble to inquire. There are no secrets in it any more than there are in the piano or parlor- organ business—indeed, not as much, for some of the piano-makers have processes of their own which they keep to themselves. We have no secrets at all, and no patents. One man is as free to make a hand-organ as another, if he knows how. The technical skill required for putting the tunes in an organ is a sufficient pro- tection to the business without any legal safeguards. There are only three men in America who can mark an organ barrel for the tunes, and I doubt whether there are 50 men in the world who can do it. So you see 1t is something of a monopoly without any patents. There is very little competition in the business anywhere; in this country there is none.” There isa house in the city that imports hand-organs from Europe, and at one other place here they made, We all sell at the same prices, and all have a fair business without making sudden fortunes. Last year was the best year we have ever seen for the business in New York, “It may seem strange to you,” the hand-organ man continued, *‘that there should be a rudden increase in our business in any particular ycar. Ttis easily explained. TIn the first place, you must have noticed that a large majority ot the ogran-grinders are Italians. Italy is the home of the hand organ, and an Ttalian ont of work takes almost as kindly to turn- ing the handle as he does to eating m. ron| Among the emigrants 1 within the last year were a ny Ttahans, who all have to gather, in some way, enouch money me of th to keep them alive, 0 are not able to work and others are not willing. A large percentage of those who do not work take to grind- ing organs, This is one cause of the increase in busimess. An Italian wn the organ business does not gen- erally expeet to earn enough money himself, but sends his wife out also, he taking one organ and she aunother, the children being divided between them, Inthis way they sometimes pick up a good deal of money. The other cuuse is the unusually mild winter. The Ttaliaus do not like cold weather, and generally keep in the house as much as possible in the win- ter months, But this year there have Them | watch their ehances till they find a man with an organ who is in need of money and lend him €10 or &15, tak ing his instrume rseccurity. Nine times out of ten the borrower is ur able to repay the loan, and the pi talists keens the . When he gots enough instrume start in bus | ness, he ronts t] mt by the day The rent ho gots depends very much upon the organ aud the number and character of th s it plays. The customor has_somarhing to do with | it, too or nstance, if a man has possession of a good cornor, | where he ean tike in 82 and &3 a| day, he has to pay higher organ than a man wl he can find a cha condition ent for an | goes wherever An organ in good wing ten popular tunes will sometinies rent for as much | as 81 a day. From this the rent comes down a8 low as 10 cents a d .y | A regular professional organ-grindor who is known can generally rent an instrument without any trouble. But a now hand who 15 1ot known has to give security for the sate return of the inatrument. Women have afancy for sick orgaus, wid they gonerally rent for about 25 conts a d “Sick organs! | CThat is some of the slang of the | trade. The squeq little music- ixes you often sco melancholy look ing women playing on the corners we eall sick organs. They are not out of | tune, or even wori out, as they scem to b, but are ofwn quite new. They made with dicaway tunes to excite sympathy. A woman with one of these sick organs, a half-starved baby, and a sorrowful countenance is sure to make a good living. But the things are all outside of our part of We have nothing to do Wo make the wnd for cash, and the business ends, s are there in the city? It is mmposible to say. We have made nearly 2,000 hervo in this factory, but they go all over the coun try, though they were nearly all made for New York Ihe organ- grinders have r rroutes, many of them just hke a theatrical company But there is this ditforence, instead of going east and wost, they travel north and south, 80 as to be in the north in the summer and the south in the win ter. They do all their traveling on foot, of coun soat s slow work, But they play all along the road whenever they cone to a house, and are sure of making their traveling ex penses at least. 1t has been so warm this winter that @ great many of the travelers have not started southward, but take their chances in the city. What an organ-arinder ean mako in the city streets is just as uncertain as what & merchant can make. He may take in $5 in a singde day if he has o wood place and strikes a streak of luck. On the other hand, he may not get half a dollar, work as hard as he will.” “T tell you,” said the enthusiastic orgon-maker, “the hand organ is the worst maliguned musical instrament in the world, Because there are a great many bad ones all hand organs are de- clared a nuisance. The instrument can be mado with as fine a tone as the best piano. Drum away upon a piano for twenty-five or thirty years and what would be leit of the tune! But hand organs last longer than that, of- ten without any repuirs. T have put new tunes in orgaus that were made in Florence " :ty years before, and that were still in good order, That one of the drawbacks of the business. Organs last too long. Listen to this one, and then tell me whether you think there is any music in a hand organ.” The organ maker, as he spoke, ad- justed thestops of & new instrument that had apparently just been com- pleted, and turned the handle. The result was as sweet music almost as could have been extracted from a piano. “That is not an unusually fine in- strument,” he continued, *‘though it 18 a good one; and it just shows that thero isas much music in un organ as in any instrument when it is properly made and in good order. That was mae to order, like all our organs, and is worth §150. It plays 10 tures, and it is good for at least 30 years’ steady use, with ocensional changes of tunes. We do a great deal of tune-changing Two or three popular airs will coax out more pennies than a dozen stale tunes, The tunes are very easily nged when you know how to do Do you know anything about the the business. with them, of ¢ organs only to or there our part ¢ “How many o nen it. construction of a hand-organ/’ The reporter was compelled to con fess that, beyond a general iden of pair of hellows with a cold being hid den somewhere inside the case, ho kne » very little of organ anatomy, A hand organ,” the guide con tinued, “is just like any church organ, with 1 few points of difference Tt has bellows and pipes and key When you want to play on a church organ you depress the keys; when you play a hand organ you clovate them, You use your fingers on the keys of the big orzan; but theso little brass ping are the finvers that operate the hand.organ.

It is 15 inches long and b inches in diameter, Tt is, you = first covered with a sheot of clean, stiff paper, and then is stuck full of little hrass pins.

When it is turned tho brass pins are brought against been 80 many warm days there has been a great demand for organs, These two things taken together have given the hand-organ business a lift.” ““Yes,"” the organ man went on, in reply to a question, “the organs you see in the streets are gencrally rented, and do not belong to the people who play them. There are five 81X largze plag in the city where any number of organs can bo rented, be sides a number of smaller places, where only one or two organs are kept for hire. There is one place in street and two in Mulberry stre both within a bluock of police head quarters. There is another in Crosby or street, and still another, the largest pl of the ki in Blecker street. In the Blecker street place 16 to 18 organs are kept, and on a fair day they are generally all in use. No,the people who keop these places do not buy these organs from us, They are generally old organ- grinders themselves, and know about what an instrument s worth, They the keys, and the keys are raiscd, If it is one of the small ones, it raisea the key only for an instant, and makes a short note. If it is one of the half inch ones, it makes a long note. It is very simple,you ,when it is expluined. ~ When the cylinder is marked forthe tunes,it is an casy mat- ter to mark the tunes on the eylinder, I have the honor (a8 well as the profit, if there is iny,) of being one of the three men in America who can mark an gan barrel for the tunes. The ptleman who 1mports organs from Ttaly is another; and there is one more. 1 will show you how it is done, | But you must promise me that you won't go off and make a hand organ ag soon as | show you how."” The promise was given without men- tal reservation. | “When the barrel is properly pre pared for marking,” he explained, “by being smoothly covered with a piece of tough paper, I hang it in | Tsh & MeM T.E OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY.

CWe make a great many mechani sas about eal figures, too,” he continiod, “Weo have to do something else to pic out the income a little, for there is not much money in making hand ans. A good workman cannot be hired for less than a day, and it would take one man fully twenty duys to make an organ. aterials are pretty high, and wo have to make a wood many organs to make u living If an organ-maker comes out at the end of the year with as much profit he could have inow a journeymen, he is doine well, A made o man makes a mistake when he learns this trade. If Thad 1t to do over 1 should od orean and to 're the fellows that maka money out of the business — the grinders. Tt comes in in small sums, but it is sure. Some of the grinders are vi wfortably off. Even if they make no more than a dollar a day, they save money, for they spend nothing. Of course, you know how they live, like rats. They start out after breakfast, and their dinner is often a half aloaf of dry bread. Fifteen cents a day would keep one of them in luxury. They getin a good deal of bad monoy, but nearly always manage to get rid of it. I have had men come in here to et their organs, pull a greasy bag out of their pocket and count out $40 or 860 in little stuff— not a coin in the whole lot larger than a five-cent picce. That Adoesn’t oftel happen, but it does sometimes. Well, now, you know pretty much all thore to learn about the organ business.
