Great video and super weather too .. always an added bonus A couple of years ago, I was at Whitley Bay seafront and noticed something was going on, or at least was about to. After a few questions I found out it was a vintage bus rally. I quickly took out my phone and filmed some of the buses as they arrived. I even managed to take an open top bus ride on an old 1966 Leyland bus. My video proved quite popular, but sadly the Whitley Bay Bus Rally never took place again. 2022 was the last one.

Normally it's been playing a lot better than that. I gather it's a barrel organ been converted to run on midi and the problem was with the midi files I've read recently. Rest assured that nothing has been "destroyed" regarding the conversion and it could be returned to barrel operation if so required.

Yes, it really was a treat to see so many organs at this special event weekend. Typically though, organ numbers aren't that great at most UK rallies any more. There used to be plenty of them around but the typical rallies [local to me] only have 1 to 4. Never-the-less, it's worth travelling to special events such as this and the Weald & Downland organ gathering.

@Wheels-Wheels-Wheels 14 күн бұрын
Yes, it is a Gavioli but can justify the Marenghi title too as it was reworked by Marenghi many years ago. In reality, many of the old organs we see today will have received substantial changes, additions, or modifications during their working lives.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed my video of this fine Gavioli. It is one of many excellent organs currently being rallied at UK events. If you search out band organ events [USA] on Google you may well be able to track down where such organs can be heard in your country. They are not by any means extinct, in fact a number of excellent organs have found there way from UK to the USA in the last few years.
