This would be a 146B as 146As did not have a glockenspiel

@whoisthisguy724 No, this is a 146A. The bells are not original, they were added when the organ was restored in 2000. Although bells were standard on the 146B, they were also available for extra cost on the 146A. The main distinguishing feature of the 146B is the facade extensions on the drum wings.

@whoisthisguy724 Your new video of it doesnt have this song in it.

I heard the same roll at Kennywood yesterday, except they actually had the Baruška-Polka on it instead of this, which makes me wonder which roll the "Hop-Scotch Polka" came from that we hear in the beginning of "Kennywood Memories" and if they still have it?

@wurlitzer153duplex Oh ok
