I love Wurlitzers!!!

[anglerfly]

WurlliTzer made it and as rudolph wurliTzer makes silly jokes about the castnetts being silly. Skerbeck shows perchased it and showed it to there shows.

[sorryosaurusrex]

This is a band organ, not a steam calliope.

[wurly164]

[Wurlitzer157]

@wurly164

No kidding!

[anglerfly]

@wurly164 Yep!

[wurlitzer165]

That is serial no. 3030.

[darvozz]

Nice! Now all three public Wurlitzer 165s are on YouTube! I hope the museum produces a CD of this organ someday.

[SteamCalliope44]

There was a LP recording of it done in the late 70's ..

[dacatholicbandorgan]

What are the other two?

[tregnier279]

The Glen Echo WurliTzer 165 & the Santa Cruz WurliTzer 165, I believe.

[koasterkav]

Thanks if you can get back there and get another shot of the Wurlitzer 165. I checked and Serbeck Shows is still in business. They are based in Michigan. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in CA and Glen Echo Park in MD are the other 2 places that have Wurlitzer 165 band organs on public display and perform..

[tregnier279]

This is one of the earlier WurliTzer 165s. The raised panels were eliminated on the later versions of this organ so large landscapes could cover the entire organ face.

[cjb761]

They have a great collection on of pneumatic players at the museum Mechanique. These things are cool.

[tregnier279]

What a handsome organ! A lovely tune as well!

[koasterkav]

Thank you for posting this video!!! I wanted to hear the Wurlitzer 165 they have there. There are only 10 left, and one of 3 that are on public display. It plays pretty well. It could use some tuning. The king of Wurlitzer band organs. Wish it would play next to a carousel!

[SteamCalliope44]

UR welcome ,,I'LL shot some more vid of it when i go back ..:)

[CelluloidKollarKid]

The song that is playing is "Zacatecas March".

[SteamCalliope44]
