@ceredigio Definitely not Frei,more likely to be a Bruder factory arrangement.

@Stephen94111 Its a shame that some people dont appreciate these wonderful and unique organs for what they are and think they just make a 'bloody racket' :-( I've appreciated them since the age of 3!!

@petermackett37 I may be wrong but I think Carl Frei made this arrangement of 'Einzug der Gladiatoren', or was it Gustav Bruder? When Frank Lythgoe's Marenghis were fitted with the odeon system they simply copied all their books using a computer, i wonder if they did the same at the Wendel collection? I'm sure they must safely keep all the original books in another part of the museum!

@maesto63 If it wasn't good for the books they must be pretty worn out by now! Are they still kept safe somewhere in the museum? Some of the music for the organs in the Thursford museum in England is in pretty sad condition, about half the repertoire of at least two of the organs is unplayable and there is a large space in which old unplayable books are kept. Sadly I don't think the museum can afford any re-cutting to be done :-(

@ceredigio No its still Midi playing. We are playing this instrument 10 to 50 times each day. And that wasnt good for the books.

@petermackett37 The mechanism on this organ sounds more 'rattly' here than on other youtube vids of it (sounds rather like the mechanism on the Wellershaus at Thursford!), it must have had an overhaul. I wonder if it's playing from books again rather than midi?

Yes, one of them just walked away : /
This is a Gebruder Bruder organ,not a Weber!,it is 80 keyless.

@petermackett37 As indeed it says clearly in 6" high letters on the front! Corrected.
