| The fairy-tale organ and the dumpling-eater organ are barrel organs and the most popular models. |
| The princess of the fairy-tale organ throws the golden ball into the frog`s mouth, and the hen lays the golden eggs (ball) into her hand again. |
| The dumpling-eater is continually eating dumplings which he actually swallows. |
| The dumplings roll into the figure´s stomach, and are again lifted onto the spoon and then to the mouth. |
| On the barrel there is space for seven songs, which were composed and arranged by outstanding musicians. In addition, older songs included were arranged in a modern, witty style. |
| Every song plays for 40 seconds. The repertoire ranges from old folksongs to modern songs, all from Europe. |
| Each customer can also propose a new song, which then is arranged for the organ. |
