Androids, Reuge, and Carousel Music
By Peter Smakula
Wow! Cool stuff hearing about the Androids of Neuchatel. I'm always impressed by things like that that seems impossible to do at all much less by someone many, many, moons ago.
I sent a request for a catalog or information to Reuge over a month ago and have yet to get anything from them. Are they slow, or do they not respond? Reality is probably our screwed up mail system.
I recently visited Carousel Park in Mansfield, Ohio to have a look at the carousel they have there. It's very nice and well restored and kept up. They have an "organ" (sorry, I forgot the name on the beast, and I don't know the proper term for the machine) that was a joy to listen to. Talking with the operator, he informed me that there are two rolls that are loaded. One plays while the other rewinds. They have 100+ rolls of music. He also added that out of all those rolls there are only a few that actually have GOOD music on them. (-:
