Restored Fair Organs at Cranker's Museum
By Ben Gottfried
Hello Everyone, I wanted to share a couple of YouTube videos that
were taken at the organ premiere event we had at Cranker's museum of
Mechanical Marvels in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. We had a large crowd
assembled for the event and I think most of you will find it gratifying
to see so many people enjoying some of our beloved mechanical music
machines.
We often talk here on these MMD pages about the need to expose the
general public to our machines. It was great to see the smiles on
all the faces during the performances. They seemed to enjoy my
presentation which explains the organs and what they are hearing.
You will hear the Mortier drum track fade here and there as the book
tracks poorly and I missed aligning it properly as it pulled through
the reader at those points.
