how does it work?The organ doesn't have any 'loud speakers' playing canned music. All music is performed live, a little like a woodwind band, however with no musicians. How can this be...
Some of these pipes sound like flutes and violins to add a tonal quality to the overall sound. To get the toes tapping, there is also a percussion section. All of the mechanism is powered by compressed air.

The music is made out of a long strip of folded cardboard with holes in. Each hole signifies a note. A hole in the card is felt by a 'key' on the organ (there are 52 on this one, hence "52 Key Dutch Street Organ". This then opens a valve which begins a process of air being diverted though tubes and channels to get it to play the right note at the right time.
The general public can view the air valves and card music through the back door of the organ trailer. There is often a bigger crowd gathered around the back of the organ! |
