Thanks. Someone else identified this tune also. The roll came from a rare Welte fair organ many years ago. These were built by Wilhelm Bruder Sohne using Welte pneumatic stack and 75 hole rolls, but with different pipework of course, to suit the fairground environment. Apparently just two exist in USA.

Now it sounds so great! I saw old recordings of this organ and always felt like there was something wrong with it.

This machine I built myself over a 10 year period. It follows Welte designs and systems accurately.

How many rolls do you have, Andrew?
@Bruderboy-ri4rk3 ай бұрын
About 40; most are original Welte red orchestrion rolls and awaiting scanning and recutting. A few, like this one are new recuts.
@PeterMackett3 ай бұрын
I have always liked this roll, makes an orchestrion play like a cinema organ!, are the metal pipes at the front flutes or strings?
@Bruderboy-ri4rk3 ай бұрын
The centre pipes are string voiced, something like a salicional, but the side ones are much bigger scale and are more like a cello, or a geigen diapason. I think this rank was scaled in a compound fashion originally. Welte used a larger scale for the treble Zinn pipes of course.
@chapichapo51644 ай бұрын
You mean you achieved a Welte orchestrion copy, all by yourself ? Where did you get the pipework ? Second hand, Lauhkuff, or ?
@Bruderboy-ri4rk4 ай бұрын
Pipework collected from many sources over many years; usually surplus to requirement church organ pipes, some of which are more than 150 years old. And have very beautiful voicing. I also had to make several pipes in order to complete ranks.. Otherwise I have built the entire instrument from scratch.

Not that it matters much, but is this a roll or MIDI?

Roll; no MIDI on the instrument
