What a beautiful carousel and the Wurlitzer sounds amazing!

There are some nice color combinations on this carousel 🙂 I like the horses with blue saddles 😉

Oh my God I used to go there all the time I'm like five minutes away from there

Is this a Wurlitzer 165 playing? It sure sounds like one!

[@clusterfofdoom1108]

I need to learn more about Wurlitzers! This is the actual audio from the carousel that day.

[@CBF1]

@@clusterfofdoom1108 It's a Wurlitzer 153.

[@CBF1]

Sam Morex It's a Wurlitzer 153. Wurlitzer 165's don't have octave violin pipes nor do they have high pitched trumpets.

[@sammorex2543]

@@CBF1 To me it kind of has the voicework characteristics of a Gebruder Bruder "Elite Orchestra Apollo" (which the 165 was based off of).

[@CBF1]

@@sammorex2543 That organ has no octave violins either. 153's don't sound like an Elite Apollo to me at all...

[@CBF1]

I wonder what songs were playing and whatever rolls they are from? Some of them take great advantage of the Wurlitzer 150 roll scale. Especially the last song in this video.

I do not know, I am only just learning about carousel organs!

[@CBF1]

@@clusterfofdoom1108 Eh, that's no problem. There's a lot of long-time Band Organ Fans that can almost immediately identify any tune on a Wurlitzer band organ.

What are those yellow tags on the horses' legs

[@clusterfofdoom1108]

They are to keep people from standing on the legs of the horses.

[@TomIannucci22]

@@clusterfofdoom1108 I see, I had a feeling it was something like that.
