38.263Carousel Band Organ musicIROCZ::MACINNESWed Jan 29 1997 15:4219
    
I had been searching for some time to find a good source of some
recorded band organ music. I found exactly what I was looking for!

It is a CD of music playing on the Wurlitzer 165 band organ for the
Seabreeze Park PTC carousel that was in Rochester NY. Unfortunately,
the carousel and this band organ were destroyed in a fire in 1994.

The sound quality is excellent, there are bells that hit some high notes
(I don't know enough yet about the exact components of a band organ)
that sound very clear and accurately recorded.

I got this from Suncoast Audio Visual Services, 589 5th Ave SE, Largo FL
33771. They have a very extensive catalog ($2). Worth the price just for
the background info on various band organs.
Most of their selections are only offered on cassette.
The exact title of the one I got is Carousel Breezes Volume II.
When I listen to this it reminds me of walking into Canobie Lake Park.

It's nice to see that carousel figure carving isn't a completely lost art...

I saw a photo of a newer carousel at Myrtle Beach, made by the
Fabricon Carousel Company. They use resin cast replicas of actual old
carvings, as well as from some new carvings. It has the look of an antique
carousel.


38.269KELVIN::SIGELCounting Blue CarsTue Mar 04 1997 14:319
    Alan,
    
    I have a brochure and it shows the ad for Fabricon, I will make you a
    copy. The horse in the picture looked like a new original, they do a
    nice job.  Also Carousel Works makes new machines.
    
    The art is definatley making a comeback.

38.278not sure today!AKOCOA::OROURKECalifornia Dreamin' April 2, 1997Wed Apr 16 1997 16:579
    
    Lynne,
    
    I knew it to be antique at one point in time, but I notice the census
    that Alan shared with us recently does not list it.   It has been a
    couple of years since I went for a spin on it!   I wonder if they
    swapped off the horses???
    
    /jen
38.279hmmmmmm......RELYON::SIGELFlock of SigelsWed Apr 16 1997 17:1510
    Jen,
    
    I read in an the PTC census (an old one) that there was a PTC at Roger
    Williams! 
    
    I bet it was sold and replaced with a fiberglass. I know someone who
    went for a ride on it last year and said it had different animals....
    maybe a new Chance Menagerie?
    
    Lynne:-)
38.280Roger Williams ZooIROCZ::MACINNESAlan MacInnesTue Apr 22 1997 17:259
    According to a book I have, there was a PTC carousel at Riverside Park
    (before they had their present Illions carousel) and it was moved
    to Roger Williams Park. It has since been moved to King's Dominion
    in Virginia (I think it said in the 1970's). So I wonder what they are
    running now at Roger Williams?

    In Fredrick Fried's book, there is a photo of it at Riverside Park.
    
38.281Could beRELYON::SIGELFlock of SigelsTue Apr 22 1997 17:336
    Alan,
    
    that could be it! Do you know the number of it? I will check it out

38.282RELYON::SIGELFlock of SigelsTue Apr 22 1997 17:4412
    Alan,
    
    BTW the carousel building in Frieds book looks like the one that is
    there now, the original that the PTC was in.
    
    
    Riverside has the very first "American Beauty" horse that Illions
    carved.

Jen thanks for the detailed info! Last month I visited Slater Park for
the first time. What a beautiful peaceful public park, and this very old
carousel building in the middle of it. The Looff figures are very well
professionally restored, and there is a real band organ playing.
Very easy to get to off Route 95.
