the four men who look after this organ are ignorant sad buggers who hate young people with a passion. They have never encouraged me to be interested in fairground organs and they have a disgusting ignorant attitude. No social graces what so ever. I hope that when the organ is rotting away and going in to very bad disrepair whilst they are in nursing homes they will regret their ignorant actions towards me. Mark my words-the organ will not be around much longer with them looking after it! :(
@TheNannypoppins You are a nasty immature youth who has no idea what you are talking about. Approach these 4 men with courtesy and you will find them most interesting and informative. I know that you spread rumours that this wonderful organ had been destroyed by fire while writing under a different name. I really think you should grow-up and enjoy this wonderful organ. If I ever meet you I will gladly re-arrange your face in return for all the anguish you have caused
@TheNannypoppins You are the one with the ignorant attitude. I have always been made very welcome by the crew of this organ. It would appear from your pathetic comments you are just jealous by the fact you obviously have none of the skills needed to maintain an instrument such as this.
@clippedlad Well said. I completely agree with you. TheNannypoppins is an immature youth, thought to be from Lancashire, who, when he gets upset or posts offensive comments, quickly closes his account. Then when things have calmed down, he opens a new account using another name usually associated with a Disney film
On the sheet music played by brass bands it is called "Aces High", but I have also heard it called "The Luftwaffe March". I think it is more popularly known as "Aces High"
@melodyjenkitten No arguments here. Just different people from different backgrounds who know one piece of music by different names. I seem to remember about 40 years ago it was Known as "The Luftwaffe March" in the British film "The Battle of Britain". When the music was re-orchestrated for Brass Band it became known as "Aces High". I play in a brass band, so I know it as "Aces High", but both names are right.
I do not know the size of this instrument, but it seems to be put in a realy big galloper or cinema as music machine -attraction on those days....The many ranks of instruments must produce very loud music. I wonder how it works on a fair with different organs on short distance between each...?
Built as a 112 key but reduced to 98key instrument. It probably has the deepest Bass section in preservation - perhaps that is why it sounds so large. Its static location up to 1956 was a scenic railway in Barry Island Amusement Park. How does it work on a fair with different organs? - Well you can hear it above the rest when played on full volumn. Come to The Great Dorset Steam Fair in early September and hear it at its best.
I'll do my best to reach Dorset, but has to take extra holliday and change the continuous shift work with my mates on the job. I apreciate your replay for the history. In Belgium such big instruments are not done on our small scale fair attractions. Yours,
There may be better ones in Europe or the USA, but this Gavioli is considered by many to be the best in the UK. I personally think that there may be a Marenghi or 2 that may be a little better but having seen many organs in the UK over the past 48 years, this is the one I can listen to all day without tiring of it. To me this IS THE BEST!

It is a very good organ but it's not the best, there are far better ones around
