Barrel organ tax (hurdy gurdy fee)

A tax that – in the past, municipalities collected from the operators of barrel organs and hurdy-gurdy boxes played in public, or – today, generally from buskers as a musician’s fee. – As a rule, most municipalities currently grant permission to play music in public, which is limited in number and valid only for certain times of the day, only upon prior payment of the corresponding fee. – See beggar’s bell, merrymaking fee, musician fee, dance concession fee, sparing fee.
