I made up long post earlier but hit preview instead of send so here it is again... This was posted in the MMD, I'm copying it here so we have it all in one place... Thanks to D. L. Bullock for the URLs of mechanical music videos on YouTube! Here are a few nice ones I found featuring carousels with live band organs playing. This is taken by a rider on the Glen Echo, Maryland, Dentzel carousel, with its Wurlitzer 165 band organ playing some of the tune "Nola." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE6FI4RNPsc Here's the Griffith Park Spillman carousel in Los Angeles, Calif., with its Stinson 165 (model 87) band organ playing "Charley My Boy." The whole tune is here -- except for the last note! (The organ playing is the one outside the carousel, not the North Tonawanda organ in the center.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snWrTShcR8g This one is the newly-carved Coolidge Park carousel in Chattanooga, Tenn., with its Stinson 165 (model 57) playing some of "We Must Have A Song To Remember." (Next to the organ is a small mock-up facade resembling a Wurlitzer 165.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wuC95rKBNE Here is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (Calif.) Looff carousel with its Ruth organ (165 rolls or MIDI of same) playing part of "I Went To Your Wedding." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZc09qDZarg This is taken on the Bushnell Park Stein & Goldstein carousel in Hartford, Conn., with its Wurlitzer 153 playing the end of "While Strolling Through The Park One Day" and some of "In The Good Old Summertime." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRhhFR5OLjU&NR And here's a short clip of the Prospect Park Carmel carousel in Brooklyn, N.Y., with its Wurlitzer 153 playing "Wedding Of The Winds." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MXHBI-lrpM With the exception of Santa Cruz, the band organs are visible in all of these videos. Also, it's not a band organ, but here's an Aeolian Pianola playing "Blue Skies" (complete). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG-i652novo On YouTube there are also numerous videos of other carousels (some hand-carved and some fiberglass) that are using recorded music at them. In several, recognizable recordings from Carrousel Music, Marion Roehl Recordings, and Klavier Recordings can be heard. And how about that YouTube? A couple of guys started a web site where people can post videos, and now the guys are billionaires because the site was bought by Google! (Well, maybe that's oversimplifying it a bit.) Dan Robinson Rochester, New York And here are some Bach organ pieces...

And finally a short clip of a Calliope “Steam Organ” (with real steam at last!): That one reminded me of the occasion I attended the MBSI rally in Fremont Ohio in 1985. There was a real calliope there - much bigger than this one. A very impressive sound, but it was only when I listened to the recording I made did I realise just how out of tune it was. With a sound that travels 6 miles, it's no wonder that it's so loud at close quarters the tuning was the last thing on my mind. With a practical point of view, just think how these monsters are tuned - with a spanner, and coping with scalding hot pipes. These whistles change temperature so rapidly when they are played, it's impossible to get anything like perfect tuning. Regards, John

Hi guys, Here's a YouTube link to me playing my John Smith 26. A little "Tooting my own horn." Cranking my own organ, actually. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0vgVAokbbI Bob

Great video clip Bob, Your John Smith sound very nice. Ben (who is hoping to build an John Smith sometime next year)

That's great Bob. I am about 2/3 done with mine. Your video was very inspiring to me. Thank you.

Hi Nick, The Dutch Street Organ video clip posted by the person from Hong Kong I've got an CD it, when two of my freinds were in Holland on hoilday they brought CD for me. The organ is called "De Adriaen" It can be heard at an flower garden in Holland which my mum, nan & grandad & one of my aunties visited when they were on hoilday in Holland. Ben :D

A Wurlitzer 125 in a country store in the US playing “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary”. Note the poster of the video has also added the words to the song in the description, so you can sing a long… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmC8gk3JY7s

This isn't organ or mechanical music, rather my favorite college marching band playing their "signature" formation, the incomparable Script Ohio! This shows why they're "The Best D*** Band In The Land", aka. the Ohio State University Marching band!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPNnIFH6_RU Another performance, aired on ABC during THE GAME, OSU/Michigan 2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-TQcqRWbDA The tune is "Le Regiment de Sambre et Meuse" by Jean Robert Planquette.
