Myrtle Beach, SC - 1900 Carousel Organ

[arburo1]

Ruth made 23 Model 38 organs, the first in 1903. See Waldkirch Street and Fairground Organs by Herbert Juttemann, the world's expert on Waldkirch products.

Sorry, but this sounds awful! Please play some original Ruth or Gustav Bruder books. Very few modern arrangers can do justice to the large Ruth scales. Also, an organ of this calibre shouldn't be adulterated with a MIDI interface. Books last for ever if cared for.

This is my favorite thing at Broadway. It was out of order last time I went though.

i prefer to see a bunch of Biths,wearing black,playing what look like pieces of lead piping than listen to this.for you who dont know,a bith is the species of alien the cantina band are made up of.

I don't think Catina Band was designed to be played on a Ruth organ that lacks all the percussion needed for it.

[GermanStreetOrgan]

I thought it was converted to 165 rolls.

[GermanStreetOrgan]

I wonder where it got this MIDI file.

[M38Ruth]

@GermanStreetOrgan Stinson added a MIDI interface to it when he restored it for it's 100th birthday in 2006.

[M38Ruth]

This organ was built in 1906, not 1900 like the plaque says. It has 96 keys, now played from a midi interface.

[2facelessdopes]

The organ was first exhibited in Paris at the World Exposition of 1900 so how could if have been built in 1906.

[M38Ruth]

@2facelessdopes There are records out there that prove the build date of 1906. Besides, the first organ of this Model number (38) was built in 1903.
