WONDEROUS SOUNDS OF THE CAROUSEL

Remember the old-time sounds of the merry-go-round? Musically, the carousel organ produces a thrill that few other automatic instruments can match. Our friends at Carrousel Music in Chambersburg, PA., offer a wide selection of recordings of authentic old-time automatic music machines including Wurlitzer and European band organs, calliopes, barrel organs, cottage orchestrions, violin piano and piano orchestrions. www.carousels.com/cmusic.htm
