3 Marja, oh Marja

4. Annekin, Annekin. Recorded before the Harmonic Flutes were re-installed in the centre behind the bandmaster figure, it sounds a lot better with them on as they were there originally, the organ is owned by Cor Tegelaar in Delft.

Tracks 4, 9, 10 and 19 arranged by Arthur Prinsen. Tracks 5 and 7 I think are arrangements by Marcel Bartier; he made music for the organ in the mid 1950s and a few of his arrangements are still with the organ. All other arrangements are by Albert Decap, which he made for the organ when it was installed in the cafe Arend in Hoggerhide, Belgium.

Track 18: Bursens Boogie 😊

❤❤❤❤

I think it was originally a Waldkirk 87,so that would explain,its more strident tone.

Peter, I've heard that about the case as well. However, the new case was carefully measured from the old one. So it must have fitted! Like a lot of information back then maybe something put about to discredit the organ builder. A typical thing that happened. It is a lovely recording, Id forgotten how strident the organ is.

It is indeed very sad that this organ was stolen years ago. I sure hope one day it may be found but I highly doubt it would’ve been destroyed…

I was told that this is Noyces gavioli but on listening to another recording I have of it it is Pettigroves gavioli,an organ that hasn't seen the light of day for around 30yrs since it was rebuilt following an accident.The replacement organ case was made too long and so the organ never went back in to the ride.I got a lot of flack and threats off the ride manager when I posted a track of it so just keep a look out! It was a lovely organ when this was recorded,may have been a warm day judging by the cyphering,its recorded extremely well and clear. I've also been told that this was recorded without the owners permission,whether that's true or not I can't confirm but a recording ban was put on it after they'd found out!

1. Tiefland Fantasie. 2. Traumerei. 3. Fackeltanz. 4. Minuet from the Second Suite L' Arlesienne. 5. Soldaten Leben Marsch. ( Soldier's Life) 6. Sunflower. 7. Wenn Die Stern Am Himmel Leuchten. 8. Fanfaren Klange Marsch. 9. Tannhauser Overture.

A couple of the organs in the video used to be at Turner's Musical Merry Go Round.

21 is "Mockin' Bird Hill"

A lively start for 2025, many thanks to you for presenting these for our enjoyment. Wish I lived closer so I could comb through these amazing (at least to me) instruments. I can live vicariously through your videos. Thank you.🎉🎆🎊

Limonaire 1900

I knew the organ when Mike and Chris Garner owned it, i have a cassette of it too but not this one, they actually made their own recordings, the organ was originally owned by Fred Cooper from Bristol who mainly used it for charity collections, he also once owned the 60 key Wellershaus that was later owned by the Nash Brothers, the decoration on the front lower board and sides of the van was done by my friend, Timmy Barker, showmen's decorator.

I recognise this organ I am pretty sure there's videos of it when it was in the UK. There's one somewhere where it was playing Aces High but the drums weren't working?

Dit is cd 2 dat toen van het orgel beschikbaar was. Bedankt voor het eerbetoon en uploaden ervan 😊

This is how people listened to portable music back in the day. Can you imagine being a soldier on the front line and having one of these? That was like being the only guy with a Sony Walkman in the 1981s.

Karl Frei?

1. O Du Frohliche. 2. Tochter Zion, Freue Dich. 3. O Tannenbaum. 4. Stille Nacht. 5. Susser Die Glocken Nie Klingen. Arrangements by Marcel van Boxtel, the organ is now with Peter Bachmann in Switzerland.

What an interesting instrument! I wonder where it is today?

An organ i never did see!, first time i have heard it too, typical Mortier orchestrion, this was before Brian added loads of extra pipework and two further cases each end, by the time i started attending syeam rallies this organ no longer travelled, the second tune is one of Brian's own arrangements, he liked obscure classical music!, i never knew it had bourdons unless it's the jazz flutes played without the tremulant, other books here by Peersman and Prinsen.

I bet I could sort it out with the software i use for my channel.First time I've heard the organ.

Never knew there was a recording made of this instrument - it's the first time I hear it. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy these arrangements, lively and throughly enjoyable. I’m sure I would be captivated looking over the mechanics of these instruments. Brings back memories from my childhood many years ago, riding and listening at the local carousel. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope the new year brings more happiness to you.

This organ is in Japan now.

This is volume 4 of the organ.

I like it Limonaire 1900 I love you もっと聞きたいです

1. Cuk-Cuk walzer

Nr. 8 Lindenmarsch. Walter Kollo.

9. Unter Den Linden, Walter Kollo wrote two marches with this title. I have many happy memories of this organ at The Great Dorset Steam Fair, the late Dick Preston would leave me in charge and i played the entire repertoire including the Christmas music!

I've got one record and three cassettes of it.

beautiful

Since when has Le Merle Blanc been a march?

Take it to red

Lovely. Too bad they don’t play the traditional repertoire of the organ in Japan.

I've got a lot of music by this organ,I don't post it on my channel though,very few like or comment on the videos so I stopped making them of it.

Danke

The organ itself is something of an oddity as it has a number of registers not normally found on mortier organs including the Bourdon celeste & the Carillion only one other mortier organ has a Bourdon celeste namely the famous " De Kluisburg" of which Oscar is a close relative Oscar bears the serial number 1041 & De Kluisburg is 1023 one unusual feature of Oscar internally is that the Unda Maris on melody (23 notes) is for some strange reason is turned sideways & is positioned on each side of the main melody & being an odd number of notes one side (i am not sure which side) is larger by one note a most strange configuration as normally all the pipes all face foward was it originally built like this or was this done when it was modernised with the present facade ( which is from a 105 Gebr Decap hammond) Do other 101 key mortier organs including Kluisburg have the same sideways facing Unda Maris? Also the outer side cabinets also face sideways so they fit behind the facade which also occurs on the 101 key mortier organs " Madeline" & The Bandmaster which are also close relatives of "Oscar" Does anyone know more especially the logic behind the sideways facing Unda Maris?

A great tribute!

Think my cassette of it is vol 1.

I have one cassette of this organ but have never heard this one before!, an organ i have never seen, it was a good instrument back then with some great books from Albert Decap, Arthur Prinsen and Louis Somers amongst others.
