"Das Eichhoernchen" & "Het Eekhoorntje"

With all the interesting discussion on this organ, inaccuracies are
starting to creep in here; to clarify things, Kevin Sheehan's new organ
has the name "Das Eichhornchen" painted in big letters right on the top
of it, with an umlaut over the "o".

 [ Anton Pluer died in 1990, so I believe Kevin's new organ was
 [ built by his son, Elbert Pluer, proprietor of Firma Pluer.
