more like a hand built bland bore-gan, am I correct?

What a sweet sounding organ. Yes, it sure sounds like a little Wurlitzer 105,those little flageolets are sweet as pie! and it is a pleasure to listen to. Who built this and how do i contact? I would like to know more about how it was made. Thanks again for posting this.

Builder lives in Fairview N.C. and is a member of the band organ club. I listened to organ for 3 hours (my ears were ringing!), but never got his name. I asked permission to post this on YouTube and he will be playing in area again soon so I hope to get more info then. He is planning to add a hand carved front to organ too.

Interesting organ. I can see block valves from Doyle Lane, and a Russ Doering spool frame on this organ. Though it is a 165-scale organ, it sounds to me like the pipework is more like a 105; I hear that characteristic flute-piccolo-flageolet sound on the melody. Also, it seems like there isn't a very deep bass on this organ, though that could be the fault of the microphone not catching the low notes. I can also see it's decorated up for Christmas!

Thanks for your comments. I used a digital camera to record the organ so I am sure sound is not great. The bass notes were there, but didn't record well. I wish I had written down more info on it, but I was too wrapped up in listening to it. Volume was amazing with no amplification!
