54 Keyless Dean Organ "The Happy Wanderer"-GDSF 2010

Another organ from the Dean Organ Works of Bristol. The organ at the worlds finest show is owned by Pam Corbin of Salisbury and is one of the finest Dean organs going. Though the organ isn't sounding as great as it should it still isnt a bad organ. Dean organs, from what i heard are controversial among some organ enthusiasts at the show and some hate Dean organs. Now i cant see why nor can i hear because they are wonderful organs! Anyway their entitled to their own opinion and i respect that. Anyway enjoy the video and let me know what you think!

Thanks for the great video, its a shame a number of enthusiasts look down on Dean organs, but they are very popular with other enthusiasts and also particularly popular with fairground showmen.

Being built in 1986, The Happy Wanderer is really in need of a good overhaul, but it is considered one of Mike Deans best 'double-up' organs.

I love both traditional old organs and newer organs like this.

@IanPostlethwaite No problem at all!!! Ye i love the old Dean Organs and the double percussion ones aswell!! Yes it is a great pity people are not fans of the Dean organs.This and "Que Sera" are my favourite Deans. Ye this organ isnt sounding as good as when i heard it last even in 2008. You know im friends with you on Facebook and i actually caught you on video listening to De Vondeling!! I was hand turning De Carrillon at the time and James Dundon flimed me and you appeared in it!!!
