Song is "Our Director". Shame the glockenspiel and percussion didn't work.
-
The ironic thing is that they had 2 other band organs on the carousel including a 153 which sounded great!
-
Ouch! Just unplug it! It sounds horrible! It needs tuning, BADLY...
-
Definitely not a 191 or 148... but this could be an old barrel organ conversion...
-
Wow! I have forgotten how bad that thing sounded. But i never knew something like this could sound so bad yet so good too, A whole bunch of good memories just came back.
THANKS!

@Pyoungpoch That's what I heard also. They were trying to buy it back at the last opening period but with the fight between the owners it all fell apart. I think the girl told me it was about 500,000 to get it back.

Nevermind, it's not a 191.
-
The organ in this video may be a 191? possibly?
It's not in good condition at all here though, hope it was restored, maybe a member of the family kept it.

Wow I learned a lot in 8 months...

@Wurlitzer157 Its really a gavioli
Thank you! I wish I had some better shots of it. It's tough to see, being poorly lit and hidden behind a chain link fence. I'd sure like to see and hear it again. I have memories of it from the time I was a little boy. The video was shot the last night that the organ (and carousel) operated at the park.
Thanks again for the info.
