Giant Fairground Organ plays The Marble Machine Song
This 105 year old organ has an implemented MIDI system and can play the Marble Machine Song This was a big surprise to me when i came to Speelklok Museum so a special Thanks To Joost Oheler and Lois Tonen for making this great arrangement of the Marble Machine song for the Schuyt. The Schuyt dance organ was originally two organs built in 1913 by Mortier in Belgium. 16 Years later it was rebuilt by Carl Frei in the Netherlands. Carl who was an organ builder and early adopter of the upcycling trend used the two Mortier organs and rebuilt them into the one Schuyt. The front of this organ have been replaced three times and after the second world war it was installed in a fairground steam carousel. So like a Phoenix, The 100 year old Schuyt Dance Organ have survived several transformations before it could play the Marble Machine Song for us today. Name: De Schuyt Type of Instrument: dance organ Year Built: 1913 Maker: Fa. Th. Mortier Place of Manufacture: Antwerp, Belgium
