Circus World North Tonawanda 133 Military Trumpet Organ Video 1 *7/27/2024*

This is my first video of the North Tonawanda Military Trumpet Organ at Circus World Museum at Baraboo, WI in the center of the carousel.
This organ was built by the North Tonawanda organ company in North Tonawanda New York. It is a North Tonawanda 133. I wish that there would be more details on the history of this organ and how it landed at Circus World. This organ plays on the carousel at Circus World and off season is stored inside a climate controlled building. The song it is playing is a Johnny Cash song titled "Ring of Fire" released in 1963. The organ appears to be playing Wurlitzer 125 rolls much like the 46 key Gavioli. It was a fun carousel to ride as the organ played!

The scale of these organs is based on the 60 key Gavioli Trumpet Barrel Organ scale with three bass and thirteen trumpets.

So this isn't Wurlitzer 125 scale rolls it's playing?

[@PeterMackett]

@@sammorex2543 Yes, the 125 scale was based on the 60 key Gavioli scale as was the 30 keyless scale we use over here in the UK, Wurlitzer used both Gavioli and Bruder scales in his organs.

@@sammorex2543 actually, this is a North Tonawanda 133 converted to 125 rolls.

@@PeterMackett yes, it is playing Wurlitzer 125 rolls as this North Tonawanda was converted to play them.

Yes it was the first ride of the day. They don't start operating the carousel until 11:30AM
