Sometimes I cannot stop thinking about the organ's sound. It sure sounds like a proper organ, nearly like a church organ but with much smaller pipes! If I owned that carousel I would have the organ playing constantly like Hershey's.
I agree that it is quite annoying that they shut the organ off between rides. It is an amazing instrument and carousel! I live relatively close to the carousel and I go there often.
The Perkasie carousel plays their organ during the ride and while unloading/loading. They only turn the music off when making ride end/start announcements.
Really nice sounding organ playing my favorite roll to boot!
Which roll is it?

This carousel's organized very neatly! I love the style of the animals and the sweeps/rounding boards/mirrors. The band organ is magnificent.

Knoebel's memories from this summer. Love the Wurlitzer 165 arrangements. I wish Knoebel's would play 165 rolls on their Frati organ.
This actually plays 150 rolls, not 165 rolls. The arrangements of these on both scales are similar though - just less chromatic on 150!
I believe it plays 46 note Artizan rolls and is a 70-80+ key organ.
Hurry up, 2 deer, 6 ostriches and gold rooster! 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!
and still... only a nickel a ride!!!
Did this play books of music originally, or was it always rolls.
The organ is cool tho but I don’t know what the name of the organ but I haven’t been there very often
