I am a bit wonder with that “de kempenaur” machine, it sound so european/dutch name but the woodcraft is super balinese or javanese type. I bet it is coming from dutch and it is some sort indonesia inspired hahaha. Gonna search on wikipedia/google now!
Wo I found..
De Kempenaer itself was dutch politician who live around 1800-something
But the machine is built in 1938 and become the largest mechanical organ in Asia. Reference see link below..
121 key Gebr. Decap “De Kempenaer”
