Great Dorset Steam Fair - Dutch & German organs

[arburo1]

The woman turning the organ is Judith Howard, probably the most knowledgeable expert on fair and street organ pipework in the UK.

thats like the one on Chigley

That is hard to crank, In not kidding look at how hard of a time the man is having!

@anglerfly The woman at 00:02 is really working to crank the organ, yet I think it's the approach. Had she a platform where she was more in grasp or in level with the crank, she would not have to extend as high and therefore not struggling to reach the upper portion of the crank.

The first tune is "Black Bottom"

You can tell that first organ has had lots of use - look how the spokes have bent in the handwheel.

@rotunda57 That how it was built.

Great video Adam,

When I went to the Great Dorest Steam Fair in 1997 I can remember standing and listening to Jan Van Eyck's 90 key organ.

Great organs. I'd love to hear more of that WBS roll player!
