87t Efteling Gavioli

[cecildover]

Hi Thijsie; Very nice Video and fun to watch . The organ is a real beauty. and so is the carousel. I woul really love to see a steam operated carousel in person maybe some day. Where is this located? Is the platform suspended only by the small diameter triangulated rods on the inside, whithout outside hangers? Thanks so much.

[Thijsie92]

@cecildover Hi,

This is in the Efteling themepark in Kaatsheuvel, the Netherlands. The platform rides on a set of rubber tires on the ground, I believe the rods are there to help support the top section, but I am not entirely sure about that.

1:53 Hitler has only got 1

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly No, that is not the original title. Plus, someone else already made that joke.

[anglerfly]

@Thijsie92 Sounds nothing like pluer sounds Bigger and not so Draaiorgel like and more GAVIOLI sounding!

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly What? I never said this was a Pluer organ, it says Gavioli right there in the title and in the video. Pluer restored it and maintains it. And again, "Draaiorgel" is the Dutch collective term under which all automated mechanical organs are placed. As "subterms" you then have for example "straatorgel", "kermisorgel" and "dansorgel". Please don't just spew out nonsense.

@anglerfly pleuer restored the organ to his former glory

[anglerfly]

Are those air calliope pipes or wooden pipes?

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly All original wooden Gavioli pipework, except for the Picollo, which is metal. European organs don't use calliope pipework (you'd be hard put to find a calliope around here anyway).

[anglerfly]

@Thijsie92 THanks!

[pixibobcat]

The unusual style of the organ music is rather suitable for such a colorful array of mechanical wonders that this machine offers...Lots of action, even for folks who'd rather sit down than ride the horses!

[anglerfly]

Thats not even carousel music just xylophone

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly I'm sorry?

[anglerfly]

@Thijsie92 Hi, Im sorry, I just thought it was just xylophone LOL

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly Not quite. This is a very old Gavioli organ, possibly of the kind that served as a template for the Wurlitzer factory when they started up.

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly Genesis, if you will.

[anglerfly]

@Thijsie92 IS tom meijer alive?

[Thijsie92]

@anglerfly I would hope so, he's definitely still producing lots of music.

[YouKnowIAmRight]

[spotterjarvin]

[iwema93]

hitler has only got one ball!

[Thijsie92]

..what?

[iwema93]

its the opening line for the unofficial lyrics to "colonel bogey"

[ZAngmaus]

Colonel Bogey March (Tom Meijer) Wat een geweldig stuk:D!

[ZAngmaus]

Colonel Bogey March! Geweldig Draaiorgel stuk!!!

[jesusfreakmusic]

Gewoon lekker vrolijk. Ik zou hier ook nog wel eens willen staan ;)

[ChristainPatriot01]

I admire how Mr.Van Boxtel arranged "The Charston Rag" and accomidated the instrument's pipe work and percussion.

[petermackett37]

A really great sounding organ.I especially like the last tune.

[Decap1956]

ik heb hem ook al gezien het is een zeer mooi orgel

[ZAngmaus]

he hoe kan het zijn dit dit filmpje 13 mmin lang is

:O:O:O

[Thijsie92]

Omdat ik dat vermogen nou eenmaal heb. Bijna al mijn filmpjes zijn langer dan 10 minuten, soms zelfs langer dan een uur.

[ZAngmaus]

het heeft niks met het vermogen te maken,maar je mag op youtube maximaal videos plaatsen van 10 minuten,dus hoe kan deze zo lang zijn???

[Thijsie92]

Zoals ik net al zei, ik heb van YouTube het vermogen toegewezen gekregen om filmpjes van langer dan 10 minuten te plaatsen.

[Thijsie92]

Niet meer mogelijk vanwege misbruik door anderen.

[egapnala65]

Stephanie Gavotte was composed by Czibulka surely.

[Thijsie92]

Composed, not arranged.

[egapnala65]

Fair enough. Was just a little puzzled.

[downy90]

mooi geluid

geweldig stukje

[GAVIOLITOM]

i heard this organ a few years back, now it is a credit to Elbert Pluer. a fantastic renovation,

hartelijk dank ;)

[yvanspijk]

Leuk eens een opname te horen van dit prachtige orgel! :) Op een CD van vroeger staan wel veel nummers, maar nog van het oude repertoire.

Op dit Gavioli-orgel speelt trouwens ook de Kortenhof Wals van Jan Kees de Ruiter. Wat zou het mooi zijn, mocht daarvan op dit orgel ooit nog eens een opname komen.
