  • Started sounding better after a few minutes. It will be great to hear when all is done.

    Too bad Ronald is standing next to it, sure takes away from the image.

    

  • @Barium5 ...DO NOT make the clowns angry.....they come alive at night...and they might find out where you live....

  • In theory, this organ would sound far greater, if a more percussion instruments were added.

  • @PonyTails55 The drums were not working at this time, they will be running soon, also the 13 trombones are being made, mostly by Verbeek

  • Nice to see a video of this machine. It sure doesn't look like a Mammoth though. It looks like an old deKleist barrel organ. There's one that looks similar in the Bower's book.

  • @dutchgerald It also needs the trombones put on, so they will make a big difference. It also needs to be played a little more to loosen it up a little, good volume, my crappy camera does'nt do it justice

see all

  • reeds.. tuning.. but good!

  • Next time, I might arrange for the 160 scale. Then I don't have to worry about MIDI notes on the trackerbar note numbers, since it is all chromatic, except

    one of the trombones. Then, I'll send the file to Rich and get some results. If it comes out well, then he might have to send it to Valley Forge rolls and cut one of my arrangements or more.

  • Fantastic !

    Great music to listen.

    Excellent band organ and video.

  • It works

  • Although it needs a bit of spot tuning, thanks for posting the video of this organ! I'm sure it will sound tremendous once it's finished!

    I have one minor quibble... I would like to know why the restorer removed (or painted over) the original DeKleist decal on the facade, and put on a "Wurlitzer Military Band Organ" decal instead?

  • Although it is missing some pipes, still has a great sound like all great WurliTzers.
