There is a Korean performance band called Akdankwangchil that plays these traditional instruments but in a modern, high-energy style that is quite exciting to watch. While covid-19 has put a damper on their performances, they have, in the past, played all over the world. If anyone is interested, it is worth checking out their Youtube page here.

The Drehorgel (barrel-organ) was a quite familiar sight in my youth. I know it usually on wheels,so that it could be pushed by the player. Players were often disabled war-veterans. I think the noise of modern-day traffic killed the Drehorgel. I have not seen one for many years. I know,that they have quite impressive big barrel-organs in the Netherlands and (dis)play them on festivals. Stamp issued on May 3rd,1990.

I often walked by passing a house with a plaque: "Posaunenwerk der Evangelischen Kirche".
"Posaunenwerk" sounded very strange to me,because if translated wordly,it is "Trombones Factory of the Protestant Church". However meant is the central organisation,founded in 1894,renamed to Trombone "Choruses" in 1994 of the Lutheran Churches in Germany. There are about 7000 "choruses with more than 100.000 wind-players. Here the stamp,commemorating the "Posaunen Chöre",issued March 1st,2014:
A rather colourfull,but "flat" design,"nicely" enhanced by a first-day cancel.What at least,shows a trombone quite clearly. I think,but don´t know,that the idea of trombone choruses comes from the "fall of the walls of Jericho",as told in the bible.
