I've posted a new video of Schumacher's Wurlitzer 146A, with more to come soon.

I also have posted a video of the DeBence museum's large Wurlitzer 'Calliola' band organ. You can check it out here:

loved the video of the Wurly 146-a, I especilly enjoyed "Hop de doo". After hearing it on a 49-key Bruder, you can really tell the differance between the scales. The march I heard on a Wurly 153(Katy Lou) quite the differance. To any body watching that video do take notice of the melody trumpet register.

Paul Eakin's 153 was named "Katy Lou"

Wonderfu video. Heard the march on both the Stinson 87 at the Griffith Park Carousel and the Glen Echo Wurlitzer 165 and I think that arrangement is better than the 150. The 150 arrangment is to slow.
I agree, this particular video has the tempo set a little too slow for this march. Some cuttings of this tune repeat the first two sections, but with the abbreviated introduction as specified by E. T. Paull.
One thing I would do differently (among a few small other differences on my own virtual 146 version) is to include a repeat of the first theme, I like the way it ends the first time.
I've known a lot of carousel men over the years that always set the tempo a little on the slow side. When asked the answer was usually "to stretch it out". Also depending upon what shape the organ was in the slower the tempo the more likely that all the notes (mostly) would play.
E.T.Paul "tone poems" were ususally nothing less than frentic , and would say that they are a definite -*test*-('") of what kind of shape your pumps and action are in.
something slightly more concerning and scary to watch

if you watch it carefully, it apears the organ smashed is actualy crates, I hope, still a nice facade demolished though.
