SeaBreeze Park - Carousel's Wurlitzer Band Organ

[@CBF1]

It's not modeled from the designs of the one that burned, but it was modeled after another organ of the same model as the one that burned down.

Thanks for the update on the facade and the songs playing in the video.

The tune playing is "Boston Commandery March" from roll 6502 (followed by the beginning of "Roses From The South"). The organ was built by Johnny Verbeeck in Belgium (based on a Wurlitzer 165 in a private collection).

I think I was there helping to get the carousel ready for the season when you made this video!

[@khmam]

So the carousel was off. Right?

[@snbbn2010]

We were there as they were getting ready to open for the season.

That's Awkward how the organ ends after it is turned off! Very strange.

[@khmam]

What do you mean?

[@CBF1]

@@khmam The organ didn't make a pitch-down sound when it was turned off at the end of this video while playing.

[@khmam]

@@CBF1 I see.

[@ahs89]

It's actually Boston Commandey March

[@koasterkav2758]

It sounds real close to a Wurlitzer 165 here. Hope they can bring in Joe Hilferty to look at it. Of anyone Joe can get the organ tuned right and sounding just like a 165. It's close.

Chances are it was my dad who started the organ up for you.
