Thanks for sharing this video of this sweet sounding flute organ playing this epic arrangement! Only one major quibble; in restoration, were all the felts replaced in the keyframe? I don't think the keys are supposed to clack and clatter like that while the keyframe is reading the music roll. At least, they don't clack NEARLY that loudly in an Imhof & Mukle "Tribut" orchestrion owned by a friend in the greater Los Angeles area, which I've heard several times. They are faintly audible but not audible when the roll door is closed.
Please tell us the name of the tune or selection? This appears to be an organ rather than an orchestrion as it has no percussion or additional instruments, just a number of organ ranks. Possibly converted from an older barrel organ.
This is Chopin Fantaisie Impromptu. Yes, a barrel organ dated 1862 converted by Imhof & Mukle in 1905. Collection of 25 classical music rolls plus 4 which went missing, still trying to relocate.

Tschaikowsky, 6. Sinfonie, 3. Satz! Super! Wie schade, daß es mitten drin endet!
