Just was listening to Wurlitzer's 100-key "Monster" in Burlington, Colorado. What an impressive organ! Art Reblitz did a great job restoring it. His arrangement of Stars and Stripes shows Sousa at his finest. The final chorus has three different melodies, the main one played on high trumpets and clarinets, the famous piccolo solo, and mid range trombone counter melody. The low trombones play the bass.

Watching home video of what looks like the cover of Bopp's "The American Carousel Organ". The Tuscora Park W153 playing an unknown march. Now we're riding along to the music. I finally got myself a copy of that great book as a late christmas present. I've been wanting it for a number of years.

The Carrousel Music W153 playing "High School Cadets." Next is "Artist's Life"

The Seabreeze Verbeek 165 playing "Hornpipe Polka" here: http://wurlitzer-rolls.com/sounds.html (go to bottom of page)

"Salut a Pesth" by Henri Kowalski played by the Glen Echo W165, also from wurlitzer-rolls.com. It's a very interesting concert march from the same roll as Hornpipe Polka. Both tunes are a bit different from your standard Wurlitzer fare.

Listening to a tape lent by an old school friend whose late father enjoyed, Labelled Fr DeCAp organs "Tyroler & Elka" Vol IX and was available from David S Vipan Bourne Lincs. Apart form saying 105key dance organs there are no more details of the instruments. Can anyone enlighten me.

Martin restored it and likes showing off the registration everytime he plays "A Mighty Fortress", with at least 24 stop changes in the 1:45 clip!

Schumacher's W146 playing "The U.S. Field Artillery March" Now it's playing "Herald of Peace" (Oddly enough, a typo on the roll lable listed it as Herald of Peach :P)

The "New-Matic" 168 playing "Mister Gallagher And Mister Shean." Next is "I'll Be In My Dixie Home Again Tomorrow."
