  • Old Music recorded by R W Emerson (Circa 1955) from carousel while at playland at the Beach San Francisco.
    New pictures of same Carousel now at Children’s Creativity Museum in Yerba Buena Gardens.
    The history of the LeRoy King Carousel (copied from web site):
    1906 Constructed in Rhode Island by renowned designer and craftsman Charles I.D. Looff. The carousel was intended to be installed in San Francisco, however it could not be due to the great 1906 earthquake and fire.
    1907 Installed at Luna Park, Seattle
    1913 Moved to San Francisco’s Playland-at-the-Beach
    1972 Playland-at-the-Beach closes. Carousel purchased by private collector and put into storage in New Mexico
    1983 Moved to Shoreline Village, Long Beach, CA
    1998 Purchased by the City of San Francisco, fully restored, and opened in its current location at Children’s Creativity Museum (formerly Zeum) in Yerba Buena Gardens
    2014 Restored and renamed in honor of former San Francisco Redevelopment Commissioner LeRoy King

    Sounds like there are multiple instruments playing here...
    1 - A large orchestrion (possibly a Seeburg H?)
    2 - Nickelodeon piano with mandolin
    3 - Nickelodeon with accordion reeds (which also need tuning!)
    4 - A (Seeburg?) orchestrion
    5 - A player piano
    6 - Orchestrion with percussion and flute pipes
    7 - A player reed organ
    8 - A Wurlitzer 165 band organ (plays for the rest of the video)

      Lili no this carousel was originally installed at Luna Park in Seattle in 1905 and after a fire burned down the park, it was moved to Playland at the Beach in San Francisco Ca In I think 1915 where it ran until the amusement park closed down on Labor Day in 1972. It currently resides at Yerba Buena Park in South of Market Area in San Francisco

I remember that Wurlitzer 165, but I also remember a Artizian style D band organ, and also I believe there were 2 Wurlitzer 153’s on that merry go round. Do you know what ever became of them?

I rode a couple of these in my life, and they don't really sound this distorted, though i guess when i rode them it is using speakers, rather then what sounds like bagpipes.
