@petermackett37 Are these all Cocchi arrangements? I take it that when this organ had its disc system fitted all its books were copied onto it? or was it a completely new repertoire?
@ceredigio These arrangements were copied from a book on Frank Lythgoe's 89 Key Marenghi as were most of the arrangements on the midi player,this book has a Chiappa cover but it was repaired by them and i am unsure of the arranger,could be Varetto,definitely not a Chiappa marker!,the books were not copied from this organ,most of the original books are in a bad state!
@petermackett37 When I rode the gallopers at Dorset this year i noted a pile of books stacked in one corner of the organ truck, (it was playing off its midi system), maybe it got the odeon system fitted because of the fragility of the books which is may be why the keyframe is only used occasionally now?
MerryGoRnd...it could be anywhere by now ...it was a steam rally at henham one weekend last year...sorry ..no can help...someone may tell in a comment
It was at Long Eaton Fair this weekend.

@ceredigio No,it's to save on having a keyframe operator when the ride is busy,it is still played on books occasionally.
