Hand-Cranked Street Organs
by Flora & Company

Professor Flora cranks out the tunes on a Flora & Company street organ.

Brian R. Flora

1950 - 2002

In the past, Flora and Company Street Organs was the source for high-quality, hand-cranked pipe organs for street performers, fairs, festivals, and collectors.
Our instruments were hand-made with love and superb attention to detail by Brian R. Flora.
Following his death in August of 2002, we are no longer building the organs at our studio.  Some of our previous customers may be willing to sell their instruments.   For information, email us at Floraco@att.net
