    "​The First Wurlitzer Theatre Organ Exported Unlike the case in the U.S. and the U.K., Theatre Organs were not installed in many European cinemas. However, it is of interest to the note that the first Wurlitzer Organ to be exported to Europe was on the 29th December, 1920 and installed at the Cinema de la Monnaie in Bruxelles, ",
    "​Abraham Icek Tuschinski (Polish: Tuszynski) ... on the 28th October, 1921 opened what is perhaps one, if not the most glorious cinema in the world, the Theater Tuschinski. ... Evidently Mr. Tuschinski was aware of the installation of Theatre Organs in many American Picture Palaces and was determined to have such an instrument present in his new theatre for its opening. However, there proved to be insufficient time for The Wurlitzer Company to ship such an instrument to The Netherlands. Undaunted, once he heard about the Theatre Organ installed at the Cinema de la Monnaie in Bruxelles, he apparently set off with the aim of purchasing to it. ",
    "​In 1923, Mr. Tuschinski replaced this organ with a newly built and imported Wurlitzer Organ Style 160 (Opus 714) with 2 manuals and 6 ranks. The new organ also had a piano console with an extra keyboard, a foot pedal and registers. ... ",
    "​In 1940, this organ was rebuilt by the Strunk Organ Company and a new 4 Manual console, designed by Joop Geesink, was added and the number of ranks was increased to 10. In addition, a piano console was added to the organ at this time. .. "
