Here is a recording as posted by Chris Carlisle of a similar Artizan organ playing "Dream of Heaven" a tune I have on a roll as well with my organ!: ruclips.net/video/aQ1-x64Ij20/видео.html

Congrats on owning your first organ Sam!

[@sammorex2543]

Well actually my first is the Astor but this is my first band organ!

@@sammorex2543 That's what I meant, YOUR first organ ever owned. -_-

Great to see it has gone to a good home and will play again soon, so glad to see it was converted back to the original Artizan system, so much better than the usual Wurlitzer in my opinion, i much prefer the BAB rolls used on these organs, these also have very nicely voiced trumpets that sound like the real thing!, look forward to hearing it but i can see you have a lot of work to do first.

I really like Artizan C organs and I especially like what you are mentioning about the trumpets. Of American made organs, this is my top preference.

what does it sound like

[@sammorex2543]

It should sound much like an Artizan C-2 band organ like the organ at Holyoke Merry-Go-Round: ruclips.net/video/X2cux5oD_C4/видео.html
