"Wintersturme" Concert Waltz (Carl Frei) 89-key Heesbeen Gavioli FAIRGROUND ORGAN

"Wintersturme" by Julius Fucik on this magnificent replica Gavioli.

The organ has 315 pipes emulating instruments from trombones to trumpets, clarinets to piccolos, cellos to violins, and percussion comprising bass drum, snare drum and glockenspiel. Most pipework is from old organs (including Mortier), and the key frame is an original Gavioli example, with the organ playing standard G4 Gavioli scale 89 key perforated card music. The bellows, windchests, case, and facade were all new in 1998, built by Theo Heesbeen and Hands Brink as commissioned by previous owner JH Wolters. It was uniquely built in an extremely compact case to achieve a big sound from a modestly sized display trailer that can be towed with a car instead of an HGV tractor unit. It is hence believed to be the smallest 89 key instrument in the world, but you wouldn't guess that from the amazing full and rich sound it makes!

Now part of the Nick Williams collection, this impressively versitile fair organ is available to hire for your events across England and Wales along side other mechanical instruments big and small... please visit www.jollity.org
