I do have the facade, it has been filled and primed for painting. I just haven’t gotten to it as most of the folks like seeing the inside of the instrument. It is almost museum quality.
I’m pretty sure that Wurlitzer made them. It is possible that they may have sub-contracted some of the parts, but 100 years ago (when this was made) Wurlitzer was a major manufacturer of musical instruments, including drums. The cymbal is stamped Wurlitzer, but there are markings on it indicating that it was actually made under contract by Zildjian. The drums are original, which is somewhat rare. They are equipped with automatic (spring loaded) tensioners to compensate for changes in temperature, as these machines were not usually played in a completely enclosed building. The heads are calf skin, and the snare is made of hemp, and it is also spring loaded to keep it at a constant tension.
They are mechanically connect together, and operate from one pneumatic motor. On the organs that play the style 150 roll, even though some do have a separate cymbal action, there is only one channel (perforation in the roll) for both the drum and cymbal. I believe that on some of the large Wurlitzer organs they can play separately, and many of the European mechanical organs the percussions are all independent.

That's pretty cool 😎
Yeah, it’s pretty amazing that over 100 years ago someone could take a tree, a dead cow, common metals and make this.
It's a band in a box and it has the soul of Janice Joplin......😊
Do you have any idea what brand of drums those are? Maybe Leedy or Ludwig?

@@Art_Thompson Also is there any way the cymbal can play independently from the bass drum or are they synced?
