The castanets had been tubed to play whenever the violin rank turns on. Since the violins play so often, I reversed the tubing so the snare plays when the violins are on and the castanets play when the violins are off.
I don’t think the feeders need to move this fast, the spill is wide open constantly. I can try slowing it down but I’ll have to make a smaller pulley for the keyframe if I do that.
Well maybe try it with the pulleys there first. The music will be a bit slower. But at least two of these sound like they’re playing a bit fast already. Remember that as a street organ, the flywheel should be turning at a comfortable speed for hand-turning the organ.
@@andrewbarrett1537 I’ll change the motor pulleys to slow the feeders way down when I get back home from the MBSI convention and I’ll have to make a new pulley for the keyframe. But at least that will give me a chance to fine tune the book speed.
Not a lot. According to the person the current owner bought it from, it was brought to the US in the mid 1950’s. Johnny Verbeeck did a partial rebuild in 2000 that included a new deeper cabinet and side cabinets as well as a new bourdon rank.
2:02 „Puppchen, Du bist mein Augenstern“. A Song from Willi Rose.
Great instrument, wonderful work! Thank you for sharing.
Neat to see a band organ without the decorative case on! Great vid as always.
Snare drum working now!

👏👏👏👏
must have a tiny set of feeders if it needs to turn this fast. It sounds nice, good job :)

Sounds nice. If the bells are original to the organ, they could possibly have been at A=435.
That's very possible though several notes were dead on at A-440 while several were way flat. Maybe just a bad tuning day at the factory?
I can find a whole pipes, \@@DuoArtOrgan/ I like how wood pipes act to humidity, too.
Do you know anything about the history of this instrument?

Ah, thanks, that explains the new condition of the case!
Playing very nicely. I liked the AP drinking song medley. Not heard it before.
I recognize "Puppchen". Here it is on another 1920s organ:

Oh nice! Thanks for identifying that one. I also recognize Mine Herz Das Ist Ein Bienen Haus because I have that on a piano roll.
