Its a A-2 Artizan still playing the Artizan pressure roll system. (it has nothing to do with Wurlitzer--tho many were changed to Wurlitzer 150 trackers/ vaccum) Both side wings are missing but it is an A-2 (46 key) Doubtful that it was ever run by a steam engine-- but by shaft drive from the MGR. Built between 1922 and 1929. (I still own two A-2s)
Nice Video. The Organ has apparently been recently restored and tuned, as it sounds great. I agree with "Great Pianists" (below) that it is likely from the mid to late 20's. Max
Thanks for posting this video of a highly original Artizan band organ. This is a nice model A-1 organ using the style 46 roll. However, I should mention that there is no way this organ dates from 1910, since Artizan did not exist then. The company started in 1922, went out of business in 1929, and was sold at auction in 1930. Thus, this organ was built between 1922 and 1929. Many Artizan organs are signed and/or dated inside the windchest and/or pump, so when these are restored, this information should again come to light. The highest known Artizan serial number is in the high 800s or low 900s, indication that they built something like 100 organs per year, not too shabby!
@@wurly153fan Yes exactly. Also I was wrong about Artizan serial numbers in my earlier comment. The highest known Artizan serial number is 604, on an Air-Calio calliope reported to date from about 1929. The earliest(?) bonafide new organ number on an Artizan is around 300 I think. Supposedly one organ has the number "111" but I am not sure if that is an error on the part of the person inspecting the organ or not (since organs also sometimes have case part numbers inscribed on various pieces, to keep, for example, the carefully-fitted doors for one organ's case with that proper case and not a nearly-identical case, just like in piano factories). I am not sure the earliest date found in a new Artizan band organ (rather than an old organ by another maker they rebuilt to their rolls), but the earliest dates I've seen for new organs are around 1923-1924 (dates on Buffalo-area newspapers found in the pump or reservoir during rebuilding), so they probably spent about a year or so mostly converting old organs, before developing their line of new organs. I think their actual band organ catalog dates to about 1925.

I love band organs. I'm a young carousel lover/studier! Also, can you post videos of your band organs? I love Artizan Band Organs.
You what?! PLEASE make some vids of your 2 A-2's.
baby face!

Wasn't made in the Wurlitzer factory, either. Wurlitzer and Artizan were competitors. Wurlitzer remained in business for years after Artizen folded.
