An interesting video, but there are a few mistakes that I will correct here. - 2:41-3:25: This is not a real mistake but the Jäger and Brommer lettering suggests that this is the workshop. Actually, this room is known as “Waldkircher Orgelstiftung”. The actual Jäger and Brommer workshop can be seen here: 3:26-3:37 - 5:35: In this video you can't see the whole map. The numbers go from 1-12, not 11. - 6:37: The organ has FIVE animated figures not three. - 6:40: Clothing was not optional. - 10:02: This arrow is wrong. It should actually point to 3: "Blumenstraße" not "Turmstraße". - 11:55: The musicians and the organ do not play together; they are two separate things. - 12:04: The organ “De Kaaspoorter” was actually located at “Gutenbergstraße” at number 7 not at 5. - 12:17: It is still a 101 key organ. - 14:03: It was NOT the only hand-cranked organ of the larger ones. - 14:10: It does not necessarily depend on the size of the organ. - 15:51: As far as I know, the organ is housed in Switzerland not Germany. - 16:17: This is the back of the Mortier organ “De Kaaspoorter” not “De Hagenaar”. - 16:18: During the organ festival this organ was also sometimes hand-cranked. - 28:10: In Germany we don't have the word “book music”. We call it “Lochkarten” (punch cards), and they are made of “Faltkarton” (folding cardboard. ) For those wondering, five of the larger organs were left out of this video. I hope I could help someone:)
The orgel Marie Jeanne …those names are the names of the 2 oldest daughters off the very first owner ..so it’s Marie and Jeanne It belonged to the grandfather of my nephew.. He purchased it in 1950
Can't believe it took me 2 years to discover this video! Fantastic work Craig. What a magical collection. A visit is long overdue. Take care, my friend.
is it possible to have a transcription (for non american collectors) of the presentation of Bill Edgerton ?
I grew up with this being the local Gavioli organ at Wonderland, in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, England. Back in 1948 my father had been in charge of operating it during the Summer season. It was reckoned to be the oldest Gavioli in England which was in original condition, and with its original English owner, after import from France in about 1897. The organ is a little older, probably from 1894 or 1895. Any more precise details might be lost in the mists of time. Unless Roger has any original documents to pinpoint its date of sale? We were sad to hear that it had been sold and exported to the USA. That said, even though I'll probably never see the organ again, it's great to see it being looked after properly by a custodian who understands and loves the instrument. Thank-you, Roger, for presenting it so well in this partial tour of your workshop.You certainly rescued its case from under that tarpaulin in Screeton Brothers' yard, where it was being neglected badly. *Not Hull. That's in Yorkshire. It was on the South side of the river, at Screeton's, in Barton on Humber, in Lincolnshire. There's quite a rivalry between the two sides, stemming back to Hull and Grimsby being big competitors when both places were important fishing ports! Incidentally, I have some recordings of that organ, from the 1960's when in its heyday, and in the 1970's, when the old owner had died, and it was not being maintained by then. The sound differences in the recordings tell it all.Wonderland is/was right on the seafront at Cleethorpes, and the salt air demanded that the organ was kept clean and polished, to avoid serious corrosion of the antique instrument and ride. The image at 22:38 was taken at Wonderland, probably after about 1965. At about that time, the angled grab rails which had been attached to the outer brass pillars of the Galloper had been removed for safety reasons. Several children had been injured whilst trying to grab them to have a free ride. (A ride cost more than most children's pocket money, so a somewhat blind eye was turned to their antics.) The wooden p-framed Big Dipper behind the ride was still in operation until at least the end of the 1970's. The speedboats were eventually replaced by a go kart track, and the Dodgems remained until near to the end of full operation of Wonderland as a static fairground. It became a market afterwards, until at least the early 2000's. I haven't investigated the site in recent years; there was little left to see 20 years ago.
Thanks. Only 35 notes here, but making the music for it is satisfying. We need more younger people who will keep these instruments out of museums and in good playing order for the next few generations.
Next Month: Glenn Thomas Collection
They did it already
Lawd! Tune those things!!! Beautiful grouping, otherwise.
Enjoyed this. Reminded me of our museum in sikeston, mo. Chris Carlisle is my son. He has katy lou band organ plus some others. He suprised my when he bought madam laura several years ago. Mikey mills has it now. God bless. Patty Lou Eakins here
Sadie Mea, and the Emperor is here
What tune is the 44 note peerless playing? It is also an endless roll like the link
The piano with the red keys is a Wurlitzer Model I. Pronounced eye. Not a nine. Not an IX model. The Nelson Wiggen with the art glass looks more like a Five X.
If the book keeps moving in the keyframe it needs adjusting by turning the screws on the top of the bridge a quarter turn at a time to put more pressure on the rubber rollers that pull the book through or the rolls may need the rubber changing as it wears with time, easy enough jobs if you know what you are doing.
I have collected mechanical music machines mostly phonographs and music boxes and it is sad that the young have no interest in these items. I have been a collector since 1963 when I was 12 years old. Nice to hear Wispering on one of the machines. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Hi! I'm currently 17 and I'm interested in these wonderful machines. Mechanical music has been my passion since I was 9 years old, and I'm doing my best to learn the restoration techniques and history of these instruments. I'm doing my best to not let this amazing technology die out in my generation and future generations.
There are some of us younger folks who fell in love at 12 in the early 2000’s. They are amazing and I love the ATT in Oaks, Pa. Hoping for more like me out there.
I am 16, and have been enjoying mechanical music for over three years!
The biggest organs Marenghi made were 105 key and the biggest Gaudin organs were 112 key, there was never an organ that was 160 keys plus!, the biggest today is 128 key.
Well I kinda missed this
very nice
GREAT COLLECTION.
What a wonderful presentation. Thank you.
I always love these machines......... using the technology of their time.
Part 2 please?
Would to see the workings of the portico clock music mechanism being activated by the clock work

Me too
Hi how are u ok today keep up there good work on here I hop u are ok
Where is the wonderful collection at??? I just came across this video and I love all of it!!!!!!!
These musical instruments must be preserved at all costs because they so precious and rare.
A nickel is a 5c coin in U.S.A.
Do you know the monkey is drinking your beer? No, hum a few bars and I'll try and play it.
For a moment, I thought you were winding us up, but it struck a chord and turned out to be a barrel of laughs. 😉👍
My old school friend in Tanunda, S.A. lived in her German grandfather's house. He had a machine that played old steel records with holes in it that made beautiful music. I was utterly fascinated by this and have always remembered it.
What a privilege to hear these restored instruments.

Enjoyed watching the video. Was thoroughly entertaining. Such a unique subject. I’m in trance with barrel organs and Carilion’s in player. Pianos at the moment. Great Contant.
There I am in that video!
Oke listen you american bui organs from all over the world ,why play music like marches iff you want to catch a train or something this kind of music South be played in the right tempo ,, so don't forged youre socallt american standards on the rest of the world!! 😒
4:53 That is Tom Billy's Ruth Style 33.
4:08 "Love's Dream"
That surely is a fantastic collection! I was lucky enough to meet Dick and Cheryl on a Bumbling Bruder Tour, and they're fantastic people. The tune on the Unika is "Kind, du kannst tanzen" from Leo Fall's operetta "Die geschiedene Frau".
Thanks so very much. I was on my way to the market but couldn’t leave this wonderful music. Keep up the good work. The market has now closed. I guess I will play the video again.
Enormous shame about the audio. TH-cam contains professionals in film making and sound who repeatedly tell us that quality audio is actually more important than high-res video. In this case it's doubly so as you're dealing with high sound pressure.
30:06 that’s Doug H Wurlitzer 153 band organ
BRAVO !........(throwing roses)
Boum Charles Trenet
Very nice film presentation.
A couple of corrections, the tune played on the Limonaire is actually "Schon ist das Leben" and Dance Organs were never used commercially in Germany or the UK, they were principally used only in Belgium, only in later years did they appear in those countries.
What is the name of the waltz played by the barrel Orchestrion?
Magnifique collection. Avez-vous le numéro de série du Limonaire 56 touches ?
wonderful collection, does you credit
What a great documentary! Thank you
Please, please, please post a video of the full "pre-resoration" recording of the Welte Briscovia A.
Rosanna, still remembering when we visited you during the AMICA meeting. What a fantastic collection you and Bill have assembled.
