The Sanfilippo Foundation's Gavioli 110 also plays Hoch Heidecksburg March. I just love this particular tune on a fair organ! This particular dance organ has such unique sounding bassoons.
Thanks for these lovely organ and mechanical music videos! Shame this year I'd never had the chance to see any due to the dreadful COVID cancelling every event, luckily we have videos of them playing at past events. Have seen many videos of this one and the others at the museum (I've never been) it's a shame most aren't playing very well, guess the technicans or the people who run the museum must be struggling to find someone to fix the problems they have as it is rather painful to hear them in such bad shape. The one playing is this clip I do like, it's kinda strange how it's built up judging that it has 2 jazzflutes on both sides and spinning statues??
Thank you, yes unfortunately I have not had the chance to visit any collections or events this year either, the maintenance team in this museum know their stuff but they are a small team considering the amount of instruments the museum owns and the regularity with which they are played by visitors, as well as being underfunded (the museum seems more interested in investing in other exhibits sadly...) The configuration of pipes and figures on this organ is not original, it has been rebuilt many times since leaving the factory and would've looked completely different when new.
This organ was built in the 1920s by Theophil Mortier, it had been rebuilt several times including by Marc Fournier in France who had made it look more like a Limonaire organ, when the museum acquired it in 2004 it was in a poor condition and it was then restored and rebuilt by organ builders Johann Gebert and J. Verbeeck.

COVID just sucks period!
The name on the front was not the one who built it. It was the person who made the parts, but the museum assembled it (I think).
