Thanks @MechanicalMusicalRecordings, for uploading this splendid recording.

You're welcome!

I personally think the wow and flutter of this organ adds to its character. I assume the W+F is actually from the organ itself assuming it has some registers that use electronic tone generators?

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Partly true, although the fault is also down to my cheap cassette player/recorder...!

[@slendermanRblx]

@@MechanicalMusicRecordingsAlso any idea if this actual organ is still extant?

[@MechanicalMusicTravels]

@@slendermanRblx Yes, it still exists and was for sale a few years ago - not sure if it has since been sold!

[@PeterMackett]

It's now in the Hinzen collection in Swalmen, i have seen it but it wasn't played when i was there.

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Perhaps that was for the better then! ;D

[@ThijsHaenen]

Actually a very nice instrument, if it wasn't for the pipes coupled to play together with the counter melody trumpet register. Good music with it too.

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Yes, I suppose it does have potential. It isn't a first rate 105 by any means but with some alterations it could be made into a much better organ.

Whats the name of the 17th song?

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Sorry, I'm not sure, the cassette has it listed only as "Tango".

[@ElClásicodelos30s]

This looks and sounds like the DECAP Organs

[@MechanicalMusicRecordings]

Rein Van Den Broek often made organs resemble Decap, as they were popular at the time. I think Decap parts were also used in the building of this organ.
