Sorry John to disappoint you but the address is Spaarne 16, Haarlem,
the Netherlands. I'd wish you a 31-tone organ in Harlem too!

Two new things in the website of Huygens-Fokker:

An essay by Paul Rapoport "About 31-tone equal temperament" which is
a very good explanation of the theory and has information for choirs
about singing in 31-tET. This essay was originally published with the
score of Rapoport's _Songs of fruit and vegetables_ by the Diapason
Press in 1987. It hasn't appeared anywhere else since. With thanks to
Paul Rapoport and Rudolf Rasch for their kind permission to reproduce
it on the web.

Two pieces on quartertone guitar in MP3-format, performed by Wim
Hoogewerf.
Julia'n Carrillo: Two movements from the _Suite Impromptu_ (1931) for
quartertone guitar;
Alois Ha'ba: _Suite for quartertone guitar nr. 2_ opus 63 (1947)
The latter has only fragments of the movements.
Thanks to Wim Hoogewerf to make the recordings available. More will
probably follow.
