    This organ sounds great! How many notes in each musical division? How many keys in the cylinder keyframe originally?

    • @AlphaMaster
      @AlphaMaster  Год назад

      3 bass, 3 trombone, 12 accomp, 17 melody, 14 counter melody.
      49 keys on the cylinder keyframe as well. unsure if the organ has been modified over its life (answer is almost certainly yes?)

    Excellent organ! Is it still playing barrels?

      It was converted to play midi prior to my purchase however the barrel and mechanism are still present and could be made to work with some effort if desired

      If I were to guess, some time between 1890-1900

      I'm not 100% sure but I agree with 1890-1900s

      @@aaronb5060 it is playing from MIDI. I do have the barrel as well, but it would take some work to make that play. The mechanism is still present, however!
      This is the state it was in when I purchased it

      I'm also not sure what year Frati stopped making organs and switched exclusively to orchestrions, but it was sometime after Mr. Frati himself passed away in 1891. Shortly thereafter, Cocchi, Bacigalupo & Graffigna were formed just down the street from the Frati factory, and they essentially took over organ production, continuing some of the same popular organ models that Frati had built. I'm not sure whether both factories were actually producing organs at the same time or not. But by the mid 1890s Frati were making cardboard-book-operated piano orchestrions, and then later, even larger orchestrions operated by thin paper rolls, as well as violin-pipe pianos and simpler coin pianos. In 1923 the company was practically bankrupt (with the German depression) so J. D. Philipps & Sohne, who were doing better, bought them out and took over the company.

    Does this organ have two sets of trumpets playing an octave apart, or does one set play from the melody section and the other from its own section?

    • @AlphaMaster
      @AlphaMaster  Год назад

      one set of trumpets and one set of cornets playing together (cornets do have a slide register so they can be disabled); counter melody section as i described above
