38 pipe

This repro organ was purpose built for Lynette Sauer (The Fairy Lady), Armidale, NSW for use in street parades and for display. The design is similar to one built 30 years earlier (no photo available).

It is a reproduction organ and the pipes are imitation and for show only. Although it has moving parts, the sound is pre-recorded from an earlier built 38-pipe barrel organ (photo not available) and played through a specially manufactured aluminium conical speaker that very realistically mimics the dynamic range of the original. It has an animated monkey puppet mounted on the top that is operated by a lever (controlled by the organ-grinder’s left hand).
