I was going to knoebels grove in the early 1950s

Amazing, just amazing you can figure these machines out and keep them alive.

I’m glad Knoebels does! They do an awesome job at taking care of these machines!

“Hurdy Gurdy” is the name of the tune.

WHAT I thought it was a unknown tune

[@BrantDisneyfan]

And besides that hurdy gurdy is a waltz

[@tedgonzalez5832]

@@BrantDisneyfan ​I'm not referring to that tune. This tune is the first tune in Artizan 6104, it's a march. It's unknown, because no one knows who wrote the tune. But I'm pretty sure there were a couple tunes that the arranger, J. Lawrence Cook, had written. Maybe this was one of them.

It that Style 66 B.A.B. Rolls?

[@Vladimir82623]

I think the frati plays 61 key

[@tedgonzalez5832]

This tune and its roll is Artizan, but the Frati organ also plays BAB rolls.

[@Vladimir82623]

@@tedgonzalez5832 it’s plays better with artizan but B.A.B works too

[@BrantDisneyfan]

It is a 61 key roll and plus the rolls are rare

[@Modeltnick]

@@BrantDisneyfan Thanks for your reply! I have a Style 66 roll #44 that was used on the Seaside Heights Illions carousel back in the 50s and early 60s. It’s in good condition but I keep it as an artifact of my childhood.

Maybe not the best idea to get inside the organ the best way to do is to stand outside the glass doors of the frati organ knoebels does not allow that but plz be aware that don’t ask to go inside of the frati organ but thx for sharing anyway
