Gaudin's attempt to compete with the popular Limonaire instruments, this unique organ survived like this for many years until it was rebuilt as a fair organ and used in the centre of a ride and is now the organ Alan Cauldwell owns known as The Rose but there is very little of the original organ left!, typical factory arrangements, the style is typical Gaudin with heavy use of percussion, if it wasn't for this recording we would never know what it sounded like, just a shame it wasn't returned to this form as the only example of an instrument like this by Gaudin, the xylophone on the top doesn't seem to play a lot but the "en chamade" trumpets seem to be on permanently!
It's such a pity the organ wasn't preserved as-was, now it just sounds and looks completely "Verbeeckised" and has been ruined much like the Southsea Gavioli... :(
Peter, the original scale card from the Fournier and co archives reveals the organ did not originally contain the standard melody violin register. The only melody registers were clarinet, piccolo, oboe, and trumpet. Pictures suggest that each of these registers was only one rank as well. The countermelody had saxophones, french horn, chamades, trombone chant, and cello. The mixture, glockenspiel and bells were controlled by their own 12 solo notes. At some point fournier did some re-arrangements, violins and unda maris were provided on two spare keys probably planned to be expression shutters, the pipes were re-arranged to fit these new ranks, and the organ was put behind a gavioli inspired front.
Yes! It is quite a late organ so to speak, from the 1920's when Gaudin, Limonaire, Lemoine etc built "jazz band" organs that included lots of extra percussion and effects.
The only organ I know with a French horn register. The scale also has provisions for a gunshot sound effect and a klaxon! I’m sure those old books have to be out there somewhere.
Ce sont des airs des années 20 correspondant à l'époque de l'instrument. Je ne pense pas avoir trop fait d'erreurs : 0.00 That’s for you (Tenaes) 3.47 Marquita (Schertzinger) 6 :10 Qui qui veut du feu ? (Borel-clerc) 9 :19 Fernande (Mauprey) 13.17 The sneak (N.H. Brown) 19.13 Tu verras Montmartre (Borel-clerc) 22.35 Gosse de riche (M.Yvain) 26.35 Elle s’était fait couper les cheveux (Tilly-Mercier) 29 : 55 Marche Lorraine (Ganne) 35 :42 Hallelujah (Youmans) 38 :42 Eleonore (Chantrier-Nazelles-Lemarchand)
Je Pense que cette orgue à transformer par Dusseaux- Lemoine pour jouer comme les orgues Limonaire Jazzbandophones en sachant qu'ils y'a eu quelques modèles de jazzbandophonnes ceux qui joue avec la Gamme 38 Touches et le 84 Touches je pense que celui ci est proche de la gamme 84 Touches Jazzbandophonnes mélanger avec la Gamme 98 Touches Gavioli à un différence près .

That's a weird and interesting looking organ.
Interesting that the trumpets are at the top and the bells at the bottom.

Really? Wow, very interesting! I really wish those books still existed, and if only the organ was still how it was here.
@@MechanicalMusicRecordings Do you have proof the books were destroyed?
@@MechanicalMusicRecordings Limonaire's largest jazz organs also had such features.
Très intéressant je n savais pas que Gaudin en avait fait
Oui, c'est un orgue tres rare, je pense que c'est le seule qui Gaudin a fait mais peut etre qu'ils avont fabrique plusieurs dans les annees 20.
This jewel became The Rose Verbeeck.
Tragically so!
i need to find this lp lol 😅
I think it is rather rare but it comes up from time to time. I think your best bet would be to check French auction sites.
@@MechanicalMusicRecordings Do you have a track listing for the record?
@@RaggyAl1971 Sorry, these tracks were sent to me as mp3 files with no titles!
Do you have the tracklist?
