Organs at Great Dorset Steam Fair 2014

[@thomasegcouplesandships1956]

Who here doesn't LOVE listening to Fairground organ music? It just feels soooooo nostalgic am I wrong? 🥰

[@bernicechong8339]

I like listening to fairground organ music!

[@darkforestzombie218]

Same.

[@davidwright8432]

Thanks for all the recording work! Nice long somples of each organ.

[@haroldkell3247]

In a world with no electronic technology they could come up with this is just mind boggling

[@leso204]

The first computer used the punched card system borrowed from those organs .......

[@arburo1]

@@leso204 It goes further back than that because these organs borrowed the punched cards from the Jacquard looms.

This organ use to be where I worked in Norfolk at the Bygone Village (sadly gone now), the 2 tunes it's playing are the same ones we played! It use to sit next to a set of Savages Gallopers in the "Regent" and the 2 worked together, lovely to hear these tunes again after 25 years!! Memories!

[@chriswardlow9441]

This is great and I known this Gavioli so well, just BRILLIANT .why the 19 thumbs down for this video I ask myself.

[@richardspikman7116]

You cannot be sad listening to this.

[@bondyebeniw9183]

Yes, I remember when merry-go-rounds each had one of these marvelous machines. Now they are all gone- replaced with recorded music.

[@darkforestzombie218]

I kinda was. My great uncle loved these steam fairs. Sadly he passed away last year. To know he would have heard this in person. And then I remember how he passed away and I will never see him again.

[@cameloty]

A soundtrack to glowing nostalgia....

[@tamikoestomo3275]

This is so wonderful!!! My compliments!

[@darkforestzombie218]

Did anyone notice the little people were moving ?

[@_en.core.]

I always see these around! (Specially at welland steam rally up country) A joy to listen to specially with the steam engines puffing around or the tanks moving about just a few metres away!

[@V8Adam]

I went to this show as a kid back in the early 90's. Very nostalgic.

[@darkforestzombie218]

But this show was in 2014

[@V8Adam]

@@darkforestzombie218 By this show, I meant the 'Great Dorset Steam Fair ', not this specific show year.

[@troyleong7412]

Englands got the most coolest fairs. I wish we had things like this in the United States. GOD BLESS & thanks for posting this.....it's AWESOME!!!!!!

[@CBF1]

There is one thing the U.K should have though and it's Wurlitzer Band Organs.

[@darkforestzombie218]

But america has all the comic coventions and the furcons.

[@rupertcordeux6479]

Thanks. We don't get much right these days. A little bit of praise goes a long way.😂

[@haxanhex9175]

[@WSCLATER]

Superb. Several melodies playing simoultaneously.

[@dylanlee4088]

I love gdsf and cant go this year cause of virus, was meant to be there by now playing this on loop

[@darkforestzombie218]

Aww no, i feel sorry for you. My great uncle loved going to these shows too

[@dylanlee4088]

@@darkforestzombie218 yeh I love steam rally's because they are fun and when I was younger I used to be obsessed with the organs, I used to sit Infront of them for hours.

[@Zwillix]

This is great sound! I LOVE fair organs. Does anybody know the two songs, starting at minute 15? The titels of these songs?

[@Zwillix]

Found out myself! First song is Katy Perry: Roar, second song is Avicii: Hey brother.

[@lynneforsyth8231]

Wonderful!

[@darkforestzombie218]

Idk is it ?? I don't watch spiderman.

[@thomasegcouplesandships1956]

Also, it's the music that plays on the rainbow organ at Rainbow Rocks Cafe! And the music which plays when Jack & Harrison help push Rainbow Dash up a hill then Rainbow Dash flies past the moon and lands on her feet.

[@darkforestzombie218]

Because spiderman is famous for doing that isnt he

[@nickelback1955]

I was there, glad about mgt cooks Ruth... Nice.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

I love the calliope. I think it’s a cool invention. The music is on a punch card, a roll of paper with perforations. The positions of these perforations determines what instrument plays what note when which results in mechanically-generated music

[@trevorpacelli8056]

13:33 And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song!

[@JamesW81]

Now I need to watch the movie "Rollercoaster" or fire up the pc and play Rollercoaster Tycoon 2

[@mechanicalmusicradio]

Wonderful memories!

[@kenreeve6549]

Lovely!

[@GarciaCopista]

18:30 what is?

[@bigbomb72]

Hey Brother, Avicii

[@vibraphonics]

How does the organ stay in tune when it's driven around all the time?

[@buringplumbranches]

as lon as none of the pipes or horns get bent or otherwise compromised it should never have to be tuned

[@penfold7800]

Looks like it's in an insulated truck, so its kept away from harsh temperature changes and it's probably secured with suspension rods and rubber feet.

[@jonathon-leebrookes9965]

burningplumbranches like any other organ I which is usually tuned anywhere from once a month to every six months...I imagine it will he retuned when it is set up at each show as transit and temperature will cause it to detune pretty quickly.

[@arburo1]

It doesn't. Travelling an organ will cause the pipe stoppers to move slightly, so retuning is required if you want the organ to sound good. With good restoration and tight stoppers, an organ may only need tuning once a year.

[@InTheBeginningTheUniverseWas]

Last one is playing Katy Perry xD for god sake lol

[@spr00sem00se]

Notice how shit it sounds compared to the fair music?

[@MrSplodez]

Magnus Archives anyone?
