OZ-57 Wonderful
Gavioli Fairground Organ ex. Museum! Wonderful large and
fabulous sounding Gavioli fairground organ with a delightful “dance”
sound in many of the arrangements. Overall the façade is 15’ 4” wide
by 11’ 2” high. Center section is 60” wide, 76” high, 63” deep,
without top pieces. Side chests 34” wide, 76” high, 21” deep with
out façade pieces. In addition there are side wings and top
sections. Large and very decorative façade in a number of pieces,
repainted with very nice decorative women and background scenes.
Overall this spectacular organ façade is over fifteen feet wide!
Includes three carved figures that are fairly recent creations – two
bell ringers (probably made by Arthur Prinsen) and a conductor (we
haven’t figured out how these were hooked up). 59 Key but sounds
much larger. Playing very well, we have had it “tweaked” a bit –
has not had a full restoration, but sounds and plays just great.
This great organ has about 210 pipes as follows: 2 X 16 Cellos in
the side cabinets; 2 X 16 Bourdon in the lower front; 2 X 16 Vox
Celeste; 2 X 18 Violin; 18 Piccolors; 18 Trumpets; 6 Trombones; 6
Stopped Bass; 6 Octave Bass; 6 Cello Bass; 2 X 9 Accompaniment (9
Cello, 9 Stopped Flute), all operating with seven registers. An
enormous amount of book music, approximately 135” – much of it
brand new from Tom Meijer, one of the very best arrangers in Europe
– this library of music is very valuable in itself. Provenance; This
organ spent many years as the centerpiece at Tom Fretty’s “Tom’s
Country Market & Musical Museum” in Manly, Iowa and was seen and
enjoyed by tens of thousands of visitors. [Now on permanent
display at the Gavioli Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas]

You may have seen and heard this at the many organ rallies where Ron Bopp had it mounted on his golf cart.

Has 69 pipes stuffed into its’ small case, including 13 Trumpets and 5 Bass. [SOLD] OZ-59 BAB Band Organ. This neat organ is marked “BAB Organ Company, Brooklyn, NY”.

Incomplete mechanism with some rust on combs and three broken teeth, missing dampers. Missing lifting levers, tracks for disc rack, original disc rollers and brackets, coin mechanism and coin slide, tune selector knob, lithograph. Has piano back. Some inappropriate mechanical repair work has been done to it. Case is in generally good condition, except for some chipping on upper corners, needs refinishing.

Some rust on comb, three broken teeth and 13 missing tips, governor blades and endless missing, the gear on the spring barrel needs to be replaced. Elaborate mechanics for the Longue Marche and for selection of tune. Probably originally was on a matching table as there are no feet on the case, which needs refinishing.

OZ-75 Before selling the following items individually, we are going to offer them as a package. They are still on site in the Springfield, MO area. We are putting a very special, very low price on this package, designed for the real enthusiast that likes to work on this stuff. You must be prepared to pick up the lot without inspection and remove it in one trip. This is an “as is, where is” sale proposal. You should have a liftgate truck (or a very large trailer with a ramp and lots of muscle), these are heavy pieces, and you will need a lot of room. In addition to the individual items listed, there are parts (roll frames, etc) however it may be that all the parts have a home in the machines, some of which are partly disassembled. Some of these machines were hard to get at to see, so the descriptions are approximate, and as mentioned some of the innards were strewn around. You can buy the entire lot for only [SOLD] under the stated conditions. Everything related to mechanical music must be removed. Items included in the lot are: [SOLD] OZ-30 Build up piano OZ-31 Haynes upright piano OZ-47 Large mechanical xylophone OZ-48 Piano. “A” style?

miscellaneous parts and pipes are there. Mechantiques – Marty & Elise Roenigk
