Never sell this overseas. Just keep it playing, don’t ever restore it as a gold leaf shiny museum piece. It’s perfect and original. It’s a heritage piece that should be treasured for eternity. Beautiful video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your lovely comment, the intentions are to eventually get this organ sounding more in-tune but the facade and original tubing will be kept. This organ really needs preserving!
@@MechanicalMusicTravels it is such a wonderful authentic sight and sound, the only thing missing now is the organ on feeders and driven by a Savage organ engine!
@@ianpostlethwaite2581 a centre engine has been sourced for it and is being restored. The ride has had at least two different engines. Tidman to start with and then in 1920 Savage supplied no 881 brand new. Feeders working from the organ engine would be ideal. Do any organs operate like this still?
@@jorybennett5932 the only one that comes to mind in recent(ish) times was the Beach/Ayres set that met with an unfortunate state of affairs at Beamish. There are however videos of it from the early days of it's time at Beamish, where the organ was still fully driven by the organ engine.

I was actually listening to a bit of the video today whilst I was at work today it sounds a lot better than last year's video I must say though it must have been hard to film whilst people were getting off and on the horses in the video.
Filming wasn't too bad to be honest, people didn't seem to mind my camera being set up next to the gallopers! As you say, the organ has had some work done to it since last year. It's not yet perfect but it's playing much, much better now.
Wonderful authentic Gavioli still in a set of gallopers. This organ really reminds me of the Gavioli in the gallopers at Cleethorpes when I was a lad back in the early sixties. It’s a ‘real belter’ as they used to say. One observation the bell ringers don’t appear to be working? And they aren’t a true ‘pair’ as they both hold their bells in the right hand instead of one left and one right. I wonder if these were added as some 87 key Gavies only had a conductor. Never the less a wonderful organ, playing very well and with that great Gavioli sound. The gallopers too look in fine fettle and very well maintained. A credit to the the owners. Nice to hear so many authentic books too. Love the ‘veterans of variety’ . Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much for your comment - the Cleethorpes Gavi and this organ have a lot in common, i.e. they are both proper galloper organs! Unfortunately that organ is now in the USA and has lost a lot of its old character which is a pity. The bell ringers are certainly unusual, although I think they do indeed originate from this organ.
I am guessing the bell ringers weren't aired up or maybe the mechanism inside simply a bellow inside could be worn out? I always love organs with figures on especially ones where they move although I like some where they don't have figures on as well.

@@HarryYT22 The bellringers used to work so I'm not sure why they don't seem to anymore! Perhaps it's to conserve them?
@@MechanicalMusicTravels That bandmaster surely likes to do his job I can see him wobbling a little.
@@HarryYT22 Haha yes well noticed 🤣 There are probably just a couple of loose screws on his base.

Thanks.
The marenghi/Gaudin arrangement is a cracking one.
@@RaggyAl1971 I agree.
