Wurlitzer Music Roll Department Exhibit - Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum

The still-operational, historic equipment in the Wurlitzer Music Roll Department demonstrates in detail the production of paper music rolls. Band organs use these rolls to produce the inimitable and universally recognized sound of an American carousel. Visitors are able to watch any of the machines which may be in use at the time of their visit. All the machines are over 90 years old.
In addition to the machinery, the Wurlitzer Music Roll Department includes several organs, and over 1600 hand-punched original master music rolls dating back to the turn of the century.
