Band Organ, North Tonawanda, In the mood

This is a band organ I have been putting back together. It has been in pieces for a long time and some of the pieces were missing. I bought it that way. I have just now gotten it back to playing. It stills need a lot of tuning. If you would like to see the Carousel I use it on Serch Carousel State Fair of Texas,Dallas.
See you at the Fair in October.

I meet Don a couple of times at some carnival conventions. Love his work.

Thank You.

Yes you can stop the trumpets, it is for tuning. but you can play the organ without the trumpets on.

The entire organ is out of tune. I posted this video while I was still working on the organ. Go to the other videos I have posted lately to here the organ after I tuned it.

Do you know Don STinson and his work??  In particular the JerryBetts66 organ? I was Jerry's neighbor for years and he always spoke so kindly of Don Stinson and all the work he did on carousel band organs, so, I know a lot of work goes into rehabing those wonderful old pieces of art

@kerry5101971 I meant progress... now time for bed.

People have no respect for the hard work that went into making both the band organ & even the player roll, if it doesn't sound like a muted mp3 or CD, people will complain about the tuning. Sheesh. Thanks for sharing your works in porgress & the 'finished' tunes too.

Wow! That represents a lot of work, in spite of the tuning! It seems to be in remarkably good shape!
