History of Odessa: hurdy-gurdy from Johann Nechady
 

On the occasion, was the happy owner of the Georgian version of the hurdy-gurdy Odessa industrialist Johann Nechady with Balkivska, 191.
As for me, told about 1880 - 1890 year of production, the factory number 1711. Sharmanka working, playing 8 Georgian melodies and of course Suliko !:)
Judging from the scanty information from the Internet, the apparatus in such a performance has the stamp of the master.
Do not prompt where to find the stamp?
I present to the maximum safety of staff photos. In my eyes, and my understanding of technology, all original. Although it is possible that the roller - "music-stuffing" has changed.
Weácan please, whether it is a good idea if I'll work on the restoration of the hurdy-gurdy?
Or is it better to leave everything as is?

If you do not think its use as a tool for earning money on the German festivals and fairs, I think:
Just remember:
- Yes, I wish that you had a dog. Listen, if we do not want
dogs, then buy my barrel organ, hurdy-gurdy wonderful; himself as an honest
person cost of fifteen hundred. you pay for nine rubles.
     - Why should I hand-organ? I'm not German, so that, taschasya with her
roads, begging for money.
     - But this is not such a barrel organ, as are the Germans. This body; see
purpose: all of mahogany. Here I'll show it again! - Here Nozdryov,
grabbed Chichikov began to drag him into another room, and how he or
rested his feet on the floor and no assured that he already knows what barrel organ, but
was to hear once again how the campaign went Malbrug. (c) :D

I do not know whether I will retire the German state, that hide in the farthest corner, on the stock.
Maybe even as a musical instrument and useful .:D

It says Kach on one bottle and "ET" on the next=Kakheti.
Kakheti, - native-born Armenian wine grape late period of maturation.
Cahors wine produced from grapes of Kakheti.

Rather, all with the same Balkivska.

No, there is a view- Kakheti wine , Kakheti wine , famous Kakheti: Tsinandali, Gurjaani, Tsolikauri, Saperavi (my favorite), Kindzmarauli, Napareuli, Khvanchkara, Mukuzani, Tvishi , Odjaleshi etc.

Yes, indeed so .:)

apologize Odessites, corrected .:)

I would not recommend restoring organ grinder.
All such "mature" artifacts stored in the warmth and love of human hands.
You know it's nice to pick up all these things and realize that 5.6 generations of people, too, kept them in their hands?

dedulya37, Oh, I see it spinning you.
But the spinning of the Russian Museum:
