Yes that’s one of my favorite stops just listen to it

Still sounds great as the first time I heard this organ back in 2014.

I probably will be going back in April 2022. I may record the band organ again.

Am I the only one who thinks that organ needs tuning? Also, could anyone identify the roll(s) and songs?

[@CBF1]

Well I'm quite sure that the tune at 2:51 is "My Own Iona". I've seen a video where Seabreeze Park's Wurlitzer 165 Replica plays Roll 6523-A tunes 3 and 4: The 4th tune on Wurlitzer 165 Roll 6523-A is that song. As for the roll that's playing, I am unaware of. I am not usually a fan of original Wurlitzer arrangements as they are quite bland. As for the tuning, I think it's been left untuned since Joe Hilferty restored it throughout 2018 - 2019 for the carousel's centennial.
