Wurlitzer 146 band organ playing 150 rolls

[wurlitzer165]

Continued...

8. The 150, same as no. 7.

9. The 153 is in the key of C major.

10. The 157 is in the key of G major, just three whole steps and a half up.

11. The 164, 165, and 166 are in the key of C major.

I'm not listing band organs right before the merger of Wurlitzer and DeKleist, since I'm questioning the DeKleist style 160. Let me know if you have any questions.

[wurlitzer165]

If you are a musician, or a music theorist, I'll tell what different keys without flats or sharps does the Wurlitzer band organ plays.

1. The style 103 plays in C Major.

2. The 105 plays in Bb major, just a whole note down, so does the 104, and 106.

3. The 125, same as no. 2.

4. The 126 is in the key of G Major.

5. The 145 A and B band organs both are in the key of C major.

6. The 146 A and B, same as no. 5.

7. The 148 is in the key of Bb major.

@anglerfly

Nice video-- good sound too. Please post more of this wonderful band organ!

[gaspen100]

It has no xylophone

[wurly164]

@gaspen100 yes it does not, it would be a 146b if it did, the b indicates bells

Sounds very nice. I could listen to this all day. "The Billboard March"

This is the collector that has the famous Wurlitzer 165 band organ, that has a 157 style front. I saw it as you panned the camera around. I see a Wurlitzer 153 and a 105 organ too. Nice sounding organ! The cymbal on top was not striking as many times as it should.

Very nice Wurlitzer 146. The only one of these I've actually seen is one on the carousel at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana. That was over a decade ago but I think it's still there.

[wurlitzer153duplex]

As far as I can tell, it's an early style 146. Thanks for the videos, I can't wait for rally season.

[wurly164]

I think you are right, I looked in the bopp book and that shows it as a 146, sounds like one too, I have played this on the Torin 146b, and I miss the bells, that are not on this organ, good tune either way

[Wurlitzer157]

@wurly164

Is this the organ you want?

[wurly164]

@Wurlitzer157 No the organ I will be getting is a 146b late style with wings, it is still in the Torin collection

[anglerfly]

What organ is beside hte 146?

[wurly164]

@anglerfly On the left is a 153 with part of the top missing and I think a 105 on the right

[anglerfly]

@wurlitzer153duplex It hink its a 147

[wurlitzer153duplex]

@anglerfly No, it's an early style 146 (before they made the A and B models). The 147 has brass piccolos and the facade is a little bit different.

[anglerfly]

Thanks for posting! Is the arnolds one?

[wurly164]

yes, all of my vids are

[Wurlitzer157]

can't wait to see the 106 video! That is probably the most rare Wurlitzer band organ!

[KawhackitaRag]

I think the 126 is rarer, but that's just nit-picking. I think that the 126 is the rarest organ taking 125 rolls. It also has it's own chassis-type.

[Wurlitzer157]

Yeah good point. I havnen't ever seen a 106 though!

[Wurlitzer157]

I love these videos thank you very much!!!

[wurly164]

Glad you like them
