54 Keyless Dean Fairground Organ - Brighton Beach Gallopers

The 54 keyless Dean Fairground Organ Que Sera Sera on the Brighton Beach Gallopers owned by Owen Smith. 0:00 Three Abreast March. Composed and arranged by James Tiller. 2:38 Goodnight Irene. 3:54 Down At The Ferryboat Inn. This was my first time seeing the Gallopers and the organ during a holiday trip in Brighton and they only come out during the summer holidays and possibly half terms? The organ is known for being one of the hardest working organs in the country playing 7 days a week all season and has a glass panel to cover the pipework to protect it from the sea air it also plays on a Midi system instead of the use of the traditional keyframe it is a clever system which makes the organ play by itself if it works correctly. Unfortunately Dean organs aren't really a favorite of mine this one however has a very mighty sound! Playing performance wise some of it seemed in tune the figures weren't aired up which is why they're not moving and the xylophone was missing a beater apart from that it was amazing seeing it after all this time as I had always wanted to see it and the Gallopers as well.
